CCRID Leadership
Meeting Minutes
November 14, 2010
Attendees:
i. Member of Illinois RID’s Finance
Committee is wondering if we could send him a copy of our blank contract.
ii. We heard back from our CEU rep and
have clarification for the CEU rules. We
will not be awarding partial CEUs. CCRID in good conscience cannot award CEUs
if we are aware the attendee has not been there the full time.
iii. Attendees who wish to earn CEUs must
have their number at the time of registration.
i. Discussion of Organization members
continues. Decision has been made to not pursue organizations to become
members. The option will remain there if
someone is interested
ii. Treasurer:
1.
We have had several requests to view the
Discourse mapping DVDs. The board has
decided that if people who wish to view the DVD cannot make it in to DHHSC to
view it with a $5 viewing fee; we will not be sending the DVD out for people to
rent. We do not have the resources to
keep track of the items when they leave our possession. We would also not be able to guarantee that
others who borrow the DVD would not make a copy for themselves and share it
with others.
2.
See
if CW would be willing to research a way to have a link on the website where
people could pay to view videos for a 24 hr period. This would enable out of Fresno members to
view mini workshops.
iii. Filed taxes and we owed $2,000
iv. Want to discuss what the role of the
Leadership team is at workshops.
1.
Are
there specific responsibilities for the Board members?
a.
We
will further clarify everyone’s roles for workshop arrival time at the next

i. In the past we have paid outside
interpreters $300 to come in and interpret our workshops. Due to last minute notification,
we were not able to hire out. We should

2. I presented
the lifetime membership award to Reno on 11/4 during the regular Senior’s
meeting. Reno was very moved and got choked up about it. I have a picture of
Reno with the certificate that I would like to put into the next
newsletter. Thank you to ET for
providing a very nice frame for this purpose
ii. Business/Projects
in Process:
1. Jan
newsletter seems to be coming together just fine. I may be able to get it out
early, like mid to late December. Do you think that would be a good idea, or
would it be lost in people’s xmas mail?? Want
opinions please.
iii. Business/Projects
Anticipated:
1. Will need
information regarding our Jan – Mar spring lineup ASAP (no later than Dec 1) to
make fliers and include in the next newsletter.
iv. Requests/Approval
needed: none
v. Other
comments:
1. Was very
impressed with the CL workshop. I already shared this idea with some of you
related to Terp time: It would be neat to ask a couple of Deaf folks (good
storytellers such as Shane Frazel, Rosemary, etc) to
record how they would sign some of the Pixar Shorts video clips. During the terp time attendees would practice using the same videos,
then near the end we could watch how these deaf people signed the same clips
(at least 2 different versions of the same short would be good for comparison)
and see how they differ from ours, what techniques they use, etc. I don’t feel
like the best person to facilitate this terp time,
but I wouldn’t mind helping out since I’ll probably be there anyway.
i. PayPal Issues (our account
is limited)
1.
We need to contact PayPal with:
a.
A voided check/bank statement
b.
Proof of Tax Exempt (501c3 determination letter)
c.
Organization and Payment Information regarding our business
d.
*We can no longer receive payments with PayPal until this matter
is cleared up.
e.
Nikki and Suzanne will work on this
ii. Go Daddy
1.
Our hosting with GoDaddy will need to be
renewed Feb. 17, 2011
2.
As time gets closer, we will begin to get pricing incentives
3.
Our Credit Card on file with Go Daddy has expired
iii. HealthyCEU's link
1.
Catherine Keller would like us to add a link to the website
regarding workshop and retreats for interpreters for their physical and
emotional health (www.healthyceus.org)
a.
If they would like to become an organizational member then we
could put their link on our website.
i. Great feedback from the CL
workshop.
ii. The people who requested the FM system
in advance didn’t all get one. We should
make sure we have a list of names so those people have priority. We will try to
designate someone to be in charge of the FM systems.
iii. Spring lineup discussion.
iv. Need to start looking for a
replacement PDC chair.
Next
