Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

The meeting was held following the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) annual meeting in Montreal, Canada. An NCCC-65 sponsored ITAA workshop Building Alliances in the Use of Statistical Methods: Advanced Usage of Structural Equation Modeling was held a few days prior to the meeting and was assessed. Activities of ESRAB (Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business) were reviewed; speaker Dror Etzion from McGill University presented at the ESRAB annual meeting information about designer metrics that can be used to change product design systems. Coordination with ESRAB to launch a review of relevant sustainability research and implementation of grant writing activity was planned for 2011. Much of the NCCC-65 meeting was spent on completing the 5-year project renewal proposal. Recruitment of potential new members was also planned. Members shared reports from their universities and submitted lists of publications, theses, dissertations, grants and presentations related to NCCC-65 and completed during 10/01/09 through 9/30/10. Discussion of emerging issues related to indicators of social change in the marketplace focused primarily on sustainability and mass customization. An information seeking trip to government funding agencies in Washington D.C. is under planning in conjunction with our 2011 annual meeting. Methods of collecting advice from journal editors about publication success and possibilities for disseminating that information to scholars were discussed.

Accomplishments: In Station reports, NCCC-65 members listed 15 new scholarly journal publications in print, 3 best paper awards, 5 book chapters, 2 books, 4 industry magazine articles, 2 Masters theses, 2 doctoral dissertations, $467,219 in new grant acquisitions, and numerous conference presentations invited and juried. Accomplishments of NCCC-65 related to project objectives: Objective 1. Set research priorities for multi-state and national work on emerging issues relevant to Social Change in the Marketplace. Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business (ESRAB), an organization initiated by NCCC-65, continues to support and decide the Award for Sustainable Design through ITAA. The award is given to a student or faculty design best implementing and promoting sustainable design in the ITAA design competition, thus encouraging work related to sustainability. ESRAB also awards two ITAA best paper awards for (1) research on sustainability and (2) teaching innovation related to sustainabililty. Objective 2. Identify strategies to increase the rigor of the research methodology and empirical techniques used to study Social Change in the Marketplace. NCCC-65 organized a 4-hour workshop on Building Alliances in the Use of Statistical Methods: Advanced Usage of Structural Equation Modeling at the International Textile and Apparel Association annual conference in Montreal, Canada, October 27, 2010. Seven people attended. The advanced focus of the workshop and expense of travel to the conference may have reduced attendance compared to previous sessions and workshops. Feedback from the attendees was positive and indicated interest in further sessions/workshops over very focused and advanced components of SEM. Objective 3. Provide an opportunity for scholars to build partnerships, develop mutual interests, and foster collaborative national research efforts on Social Change in the Marketplace. Discussion of emerging issues lead to the realization that there has been limited organized review of research advancements related to sustainability and indicators of social change in the marketplace. Collaboration with ESRAB is planned to alleviate that deficiency and then position scholars to design grant applications to move the field forward. Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business (ESRAB) broke into interest groups to discuss plans for relevant research and funding possibilities at the October 31, 2009 meeting in Bellevue, WA. Objective 4. Share and critique new ideas and new unpublished data regarding issues related to Social Change in the Marketplace. Discussion of emerging issues lead to the realization that there has been limited organized review of research advancements related to sustainability and indicators of social change in the marketplace. Collaboration with ESRAB is planned to alleviate that deficiency and then position scholars to design grant applications to move the field forward. Discussion of emerging issues also resulted in examination of social change implications of emerging technological advancements in mass customization. As the technology advances over the next 10 years, potential applications could bring ground-breaking changes in retailing and consumer behavior, both in rural and urban locales. The discussion highlighted upcoming arenas for research and collaboration with private industry. Dror Etzion, McGill University, presented at the ESRAB annual meeting information about designer metrics that can be used to change product design systems. Issues related to product design and sustainability were featured.
