20090718:01Motion: The SCRID board approve a special committee lead by Daryl Crouse to research and make recommendations for changes to the SCRID web site.

Rationale: The SCRID web site has recently experienced many technical issues due to the ever changing technological world. Being that it has been historically maintained by members, it will benefit SCRID to look into more current formats that will be easily taught to and maintained by future committee members. There is a need to have an individual with extensive background in creation of web sites and an in depth understanding of the needs of SCRID to research and make recommendations to the board. In today’s world an organization’s web site is often the first impression made on individual’s looking to be a part of the membership. Approval of this motion will provide the board with options to create the ever important first impression with formats that are easily learned and maintained by those overseeing the web site in the future.

20090718:02 - Motion: The SCRID board approve the appointment of Kathy Goodson as chair of the Mentorship Committee.

Rationale: The Mentoring Committee was established to provide activities that further the profession of Interpretation of American Sign Language and English and Transliteration of English which is one of the principle objectives of SCRID. It is important to have the Mentoring Committee chaired by an individual that has awareness of various forms of mentoring and that is willing to take the committee in new directions. The appointment of Kathy Goodson as Mentor Committee Chair will provide a foundation for the committee to begin establishing more opportunities for mentoring through the organization.

20090718:03 – Motion: The board approve the appointment of Maren Jensen and Steve Barnthouse as co-chairs of the Certification Maintenance Program.

Rationale: The Certification Maintenance Program provides SCRID with a connection to individuals and organizations looking to provide Continuing Education Units for their activities and events. The work that is done by the CMP chair(s) ensures the quality and effectiveness of educational opportunities provided for certified members, establishes standards for professional development and provides a framework for certification maintenance. This work requires individuals with strong organizational skills and an eye for detail. Additionally the chair(s) should have the ability to work with and hold others accountable to dead lines and schedules. Maren Jensen and Steve Barnthouse are a team that possess all of the previously mentioned skills and abilities and would be an asset to SCRID as CMP Co-Chairs.

20090718:04 – Motion: The board approve the 2009-2010 budget.

20090718:05 – Motion:  to table the approval of the FY 09/10 budget for no more than 30 days.  The rationale is to provide each committee member to provide one more opportunity to review their actuals and respond to the Treasurer.  An online executive meeting will occur within 30 days of today to approve the FY09/10 budget.  Bernard reminded everyone a copy of the budget has been posted under Google Documents.  Bernard has emailed everyone with a link to the document and has encouraged everyone to review the document again to make any corrections.
