CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN HONORS 2019 NCHC Annual Conference November 6-10, 2019 • New Orleans, LA • Sheraton New Orleans NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL Welcome to the 54th Annual Conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council Greetings, Honors Colleagues: On behalf of the 2019 Conference Planning Committee, the Board of Directors, and the staff of the NCHC national headquarters, welcome to our 54th annual conference. We are very happy that you have taken this opportunity to learn, share, contribute, and grow with us as individuals and then extend this to not only your home institutions, but also to the larger realms of honors education and higher education. The conference topics of disruption and creativity are meant to challenge us to think, question, and act: all intrinsic to honors education globally. What better place to congregate and explore these concepts than New Orleans, a city that exemplifies them perfectly. With the diverse members of the honors community— students, faculty, administrators and administrative staff—the myriad of perspectives and experiences upon which we can draw, and the setting, we have something for everyone (from first-time attendees to veterans). Mindful that conference can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating (disruption and learning take energy!), we have added some opportunities to regain balance with networking receptions, Brain Breaks, morning yoga, and explorations of our amazing host city. We are excited that you have taken time from your busy schedules to spend the next few days with your extended honors family.

    SRO Artists, Inc. http://www.sroartists.com | [email protected] PHONE: (608) 664.8160 FAX: (608) 664.8161 ARTIST BIO: KARLA BONOFF (revised 11/2010) p. 1 of 2 Born and raised in Southern California, Karla Bonoff was a songwriter by the age of fifteen. She and her sister Lisa were writing songs and playing as a duo titled "The Daughters of Chester P" named after their father, Dr. Chester Paul Bonoff. She had already fallen in love with the guitar and studied with Frank Hamilton of the famous folk group, The Weavers. By 16, Karla and her sister Lisa auditioned for Elektra Records. An 11-song demo [recorded by Doors' engineer Bruce Botnick] was recorded but no deal came of this first effort. Karla's sister became a teacher of history and religion, but Karla's passion was always music. She became friends with other singer-songwriters and musicians [in the '60s] who were creating their own unique sound. She talks about lining up at the legendary Troubadour at noon on Mondays to get a slot in the famous Monday night Troubadour "hoot," which was a breaking ground for many artists who went on to great success. She says, "It was an amazing time. Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Elton John were around the Troubadour in those days." There were some other writer-singers who became friends of Karla's, and eventually, they decided to put a band together. They were Kenny Edwards, (who had started the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt and Bobby Kimmel), Wendy Waldman, and Andrew Gold.
