This article presents minutes of the American Educational Research Association's meetings held in Santa Monica, California, on February 4-6, 2011. President Kris D. Gutierrez led a discussion of the meeting dates for the summer Executive Board and Council meetings. It was agreed that members of Council will be polled to determine the best dates for the meetings, which may deviate from the recurring dates approved by Council in July 2010 (last full weekend in June for the summer meetings). Dates for the October Coordinated Committee meeting are set for October 28-29, 2011, in Washington, D.C. During the conference, several motions were approved including the 31 members recommended as AERA Fellows by the Fellows Committee, policy changes involving AERA publication, draft code of ethics, and the appointment of a subcommittee of Council to consider the charge, functions, terms, and purposes of AERA standing committees and their current work.
