The Meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM.

 

A quorum was determined.   The following were in attendance:

            Sherri Roberts              Michael Moore

            Ginny Sweet                            

           

The minutes from the August 28, 2001 meeting were read by the Secretary and approved as corrected.

 

Reports:

            President- written report

            Vice President- written report

Parliamentarian- All of the tasks from the August 28th meeting have been completed or at least attempted.  The packets have not been sent to BISD because the avenue pursued to distribute them was not
successful

.  Sherri will attempt to get a list of interpreters from the BISD Central Office by the next meeting.

            Secretary- no report

Treasurer- We have $2036.60 in the bank.  This includes everything except for a few membership dues.  The profit from the fall workshop totaled $550, minus $133.48 for mailing, $750 for a speaker, and $29.10 for food.

BVID Chapter Representative-  At the TSID board meeting policies and procedures were updated.  The budget was balanced.  The model constitution was revised, and Sherri Roberts was appointed to write a policy for chapters in good standing.  Michael Moore discussed the website and the new password.  RID will be co-sponsoring a golf marathon with TSID in February.  TSID will receive a 10% profit.  Overall it was a very productive meeting.

Old Business:

            Interpreter Hiring Policy:

The interpreter hiring policy is not online yet.  Michael says it is on a CD he gave to Ginny.  She will need to look for it and e-mail it to Joyce.  If she can not find it, Michael will look through his files for it.

New Business:

Workshop & CEU’s for the Spring

                        The general consensus was to have a workshop this spring targeting non-certified and beginning level interpreters.  We would like to encourage students taking ASL at Blinn to attend this workshop, and plan to make it as inexpensive as possible.  Ginny Sweet will sent out an announcement to all members requesting proposals for the next workshop.  We may look into the Skill Building workshop from TSID.  Sherri Roberts and Diana North will bring ideas for CEU’s to the next meeting.  Diana North will look into getting grant money from the University of Arkansas Little Rock.  She will e-mail Michael Moore to get the address of Ray James so she can get more information.
