As announced at the RID National Conference in July, the enhanced examination will have the same content as the current NIC, but the content will be reformatted to focus more closely on critical interpreting skills. New scoring techniques designed to increase the accuracy, consistency and reliability of the examination scoring will also be introduced with this enhanced test. In addition to more effectively measuring the competency of exam candidates, the new scoring process will allow RID to provide exam results in significantly less time than before.

Southern California Registry Interpreters for the Deaf
Inland Empire Region
General Members Meeting
May 21, 2011
Submitted by: Michael J. Klyn
The following will capsulate the monthly IE Region Reports for FY10/11:
Successes during FY10/11:
Riverside Deaf Awareness Day, September 2011.
As with the last three years, SCRID has had a presence at the annual Riverside Deaf Awareness Picnic hosted by Model Deaf Committee and Center on Deafeness - Inland Empire (CODIE). Officers, members and students were on hand throughout the day to recruit new members and provide information on the organization.
Workshop: May 25, 2010 was the "Discourse Workshop" presented by Diana MacDougall. The workshop had approximately 25 participants and received rave reviews which can be found on the evaluations held by the CMP Committee.
Challenges during FY10/11:
Inland Empire Region Representative - VACANCY
Since the IE Region Representative has took over the office of Secretary during the last year SCRID has actively searched for an individual to take over the position. Unfortunately, no replacement has been found which has caused distress to the success of the region which can be seen when comparing the last three years of annual reports. While some members have expressed an interest in taking over the position nothing went farther than expressed interest.
By next month, June 2011, SCRID will no longer have an Inland Empire Region Representative. This position is vital to the success of the Inland Empire Region. Without an Inland Empire Region Representative, members within the IE Region will again be forced to go outside of their home region to find workshops. Any IE Region member interested in the position should check the website for the position description and contact the SCRID President with their interest.

I. Call the meeting to order. With a quorum present, President Robin Taylor called the meeting to order at 12:33 PM.
II. Roll Call. President Robin Taylor called roll of the SCRID Board of Directors and then called roll of members present. See above.
III. Reading of SCRID Mission Statement. The SCRID Mission Statement was signed by Renahlee Crow, Vice President.
IV. Approval of Agenda. (M/S Crow/Shanker) Call for revisions to the agenda. None. Vote to approve the agenda as presented. 11/0/0. Agenda approved as submitted.
V. Approval of May 2009 Minutes. (M/S Goodson/Crow) Call for revision to the May 2009 Annual Members Meeting Minutes. None. Vote Called. 11/0/0. Minutes approved as submitted.
VI. President’s Report. See attached. Taylor highlighted the vacant positions that had been filled over the last year. All of the previous CMP issues from the past six months have been resolved. Anyone who was not aware of the letter submitted to RID from the Region V Presidents Council in regards to the current NIC evaluation process is encouraged to contact Taylor for a copy. The Presidents Power Point (see attached) covered the current endeavors for the upcoming FY10/11: expanding the SCRID Policy & Procedure Manual and bylaws revision (Klyn to chair the bylaws adhoc cmte). One of the main concerns is the current PO Box situation. Over the last year there have been checks, membership forms and the donation of Disneyland tickets that were donated for the Lou Fant Memorial Banquet which were all lost/stolen. Taylor and Bernard are currently seeking other options in regards to the PO Box, up to and including, signing a new lease with a new PO Box vendor. Call for questions. None.
VII. Vice Presidents Report. See attached. Crow encouraged everyone to check out the “welcome table” outside of the conference room. While the primary position of Vice President is to be the “back up” to the President, Crow is currently working on devising a list of all the organizations SCRID is a member of and being the SCRID contact person for those organizations. Crow will update the membership on what events are taking place within those organizations.
a. Certification Maintenance Program. See attached. Taylor, in stead for CMP Chairs, reported the current pie graph is representative of the work both Maren and Steve have done since September 2009. There were a total of 43.11 CEUs sponsored. Clarification was made between the differences of PINRA and Independent Study.
b. Lou Fant Memorial Banquet. D’addario reviewed the LFMB PowerPoint. The event was a large success and looking forward to next year. Nominations and scholarships are available to anyone – not limited to SCRID members. Query made as to the financials of the event. The event profited $2, 300.00.
c. Membership Committee. Huber reported the membership has a total of 124 certified. In reviewing the presented graph, while over the last year membership has varied, by the end of the fiscal year the total amount of memberships are the same from last year to current year. This year, at the advisement of the Membership Chair, the SCRID board have tiered the membership price for a one-year, two-year and three-year with appropriate discounts. Huber pointed out, while most organizations have raised their membership dues SCRID has kept them consistent without any rise. This is attributed to members recruiting more members.
d. Mentorship Committee. Goodson gave an update on the current Mentorship website page: FAQs and blog. After reviewing the website pages of the mentorship programs of other affiliate chapters, it appears SCRID is the only chapter that has taken an active roll in this type of program for its members. Goodson reviewed the Mentorship PowerPoint, expanding on how mentees/mentors can click on their profile page within www.scrid.org to add themselves as a mentee or a mentor and include their contact information. Additionally, the Mentorship page has a search engine to search for either a mentee/mentor which will assist current members and/or interpreters who recently moved into SCRID region. The mentorship program, while under the direction of Goodson, it will be up to the mentee to find a mentor that best fits them; however, Goodson will be there to assist in finding a mentor but will not be assigning mentors to mentees. Members were encouraged to pass this information along to co-workers, students and interpreters throughout their communities. Query made how a deaf individual could be involved with mentorship. Goodson stated deaf individuals could be language mentors. Potter queried how mentee and mentor will come in contact with each other. Mentors will complete a brief survey of their strengths. In turn, mentees will complete a brief survey of which skills they wish to improve. SCRID will also be held harmless of any liability between mentors/mentees. Further, should a mentee charge for their mentoring services that will be solely discussed between the mentor/mentee.
The mentorship committee has also been utilizing various interpreting students from various ITP programs to use with a certified interpreter to whisper-interpret for the Secretary at all business meetings.
e. Student Representative Committee. See attached. SRC PowerPoint was reviewed by members. Taylor announced that Foster has resigned from her both her SRC and Support-the-Gap Chair positions. Prior to her resignation, Foster advised, in lieu of a new chair, to make the SRC and STG an online blog interaction/social network given the lack of interest by students to become involved in either events.
f. Support the Gap Committee. See attached. During the FY0910, there was no STG event. Taylor mentioned there will be more information to follow in the new FY after the executive meeting in June.
g. Website Committee Report. Members reviewed the Website Committee Report PowerPoint. See attached. Taylor expressed there has been feedback from members that the website is not completely user friendly; therefore, the executive committee is working with the Website Cmte Chair to make the website more conducive to the members abilities.
XII. Regional Representative Reports
- a. Inland Empire. See attached. Klyn reviewed the IE Regional Rep PowerPoint. Taylor projected and reviewed the outlines/boundaries of all the regions throughout the SCRID region.
Taylor reviewed the current vacancies of Chairs and Region Representatiaves. The following are vacant positions: Membership Chair, Trilingual Chair, SRC/STG and Region Representatives for the Northwest, Metro LA, San Gabriel Valley and Orange County.
- XIII. Members Comments. Taylor offered the floor to any members or visitors who would like to make any additional comments, motions or queries on business conducted over the last fiscal year. None.
- XIV. Old Business
- a. Educational Interpreters Committee. With the advent of the RID SIG for Educational Interpreters, SCRID was contacted by RID to represent SCRID with an educational interpreter committee chair. At this time, the SCRID board is still deliberating over if SCRID will form any additional committees given the current positions that need to be filled. Call for comments. None.
- b. CDI Cmte.
- c. Newsletter. At this time, various ACs have queried to RID if the websites will suffice instead of having to do a newsletter. More information to be provided throughout the year.
XV. New Business. Taylor called for any motion or discussions for new business. None.
XVI. Announcements
- a. Gendered Discourse Workshop, Riverside Community College next Saturday, May 22, 2010. Seats are still available. Register online www.scrid.org

- II. Roll Call. See above.
- III. Reading of SCRID Mission Statement. The Mission Statement was read by President Taylor. It is the mission of Southern California Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf to provide local forums and an organizational structure for the continued growth and development of the professions of interpretation and transliteration of American Sign Language and English.
- IV. Approval of April 23, 2011 Agenda. (M/S KLYN/SHANKER) Call for revisions. None. Vote called. Agenda approved as presented. 4/0/0.
- V. Approval of February 19, 2011 Minutes. (M/S KLYN/BERNARD) Call for revisions. None. Vote called. Minutes approved as presented. 4/0/0.
- VI. Treasurer’s Report. See attached report. Bernard stated checks from the Lou Fant Banquet have not in addition to approximately $1200 in cash. D’addario stated to Bernard $1200 is owed to her from out of pocket expenses from the Banquet. Bernard instructed D’addario to keep the cash in her possession from the Banquet and to send in the receipts. While the in-house books will show income in-income out the approximate $1200 will not be shown on bank statements. To date, Bernard has not reviewed the final financial report from the Lou Fant Memorial Banquet.
Additional discussion ensued that in future years a stronger cash handling procedures, including documentation and double check system will be in place.
- VII. Member-at-Large. See attached report. Report stands as submitted. Call for further questions. None.
- VIII. Standing Committee Reports
a. CMP. See attached report. SCRID sponsored CEUs for a workshop by the City of Los Angeles. During the mail transition period the check from the City had been lost. SCRID notified the City which in turn stopped payment on the check. After a stop payment had been processed SCRID received the check which has since been shredded as per instructions from the City. At this time, SCRID is seeking payment for the processing of CEUs.
Jensen will be out of contact during the summer however Barnthouse will be available for any CMP issues.
b. Lou Fant Memorial Fund. See attached report. All reimbursement forms have been mailed to Bernard by D’addario. Query made to the notation under Expenses, line 7, “Patty added $100.” Discussion ensued. Drasin donated an additional $100 to the interpreting fund. The report will be revised to show the $100 under donation.
The primary feedback from members is to provide three to six months notice of who the honorees will be. Interpreters who work within the VRS industry have their schedule booked two months in advance; therefore, VRS interpreters have their schedules for the month of March solidified in January. By providing the three to six months notice of Lou Fant Banquet honorees, SCRID could increase ticket sales by providing advance notice to those who work within VRS.
c. Membership. See attached report. It has come to the boards attention the SCRID website currently accepts new memberships but not renewals. Darrell will be updating the website so members can renew directly online. Discussion ensued on the aesthetics of the JOIN and RENEWAL buttons. Not only is the administrative aspect more streamlined but also for the member to update any information in their account. Discussion ensued regarding sending out reminder postcards or sending out the actual membership form.
d. PDC. See attached report. Given Seshi is not present, questions deferred to the May meeting. Query made if any workshops are being planned. Taylor stated Seshi is working with Bonnie Gibson-Brydon on a workshop for late June 2011; topic unknown. Jensen reminded the board the CMP needs a minimum of 45 days to approve a workshop for CEUs. There is also a tentative workshop slated for September 2011; topic unknown.
IX. Adhoc Elections Committee. See attached report. An online ballot will be provided via the website. Since the letter sent by Taylor to the members regarding the possible closure of SCRID should there not be an individual to take over the presidency position there have been quite a few inquiries However, given the nomination date has passed, those individuals have been notified their application and resume will be kept on file in the event a president is not voted in. At that time, the new executive board will have a current list of individuals interested for an easier process to appoint.
Bernard excused.
- X. Old Business
- a. SCRID Address Change. Just to emphasize, the new SCRID mailing address is 2648 E. Workman Ave, #3001-290, West Covina, CA 91791. This item can be removed from Old Business.

President’s Report
Robin Taylor
2010-11 Events, Occurrences and Resolved Issues
- SCRID has successfully turned over many aspects of the business of the board to electronic based formats. The hopes this will be a continued endeavor of the incoming board.
- Upon further review it was decided to not establish a by laws committee.
- The SCRID Board of Directors made several changes to the business aspects of the organization
- The PO Box, bank and Storage facilitate were moved near each other for ease of turn-over to new board. In the past it was necessary to make several trips to turn-over all of these entities to the new board member’s names. Now they are all within a mile of each other and a facility to hold a board meeting assisting in the turn-over to a new board to happen the day of the induction of the new individuals.
- The issues with the PO Box were resolved with the new facility.
- The Board discussed the primary (necessary) aspects of SCRID verses the ancillary aspects in order to focus on primary with limited human resources. Through this discussion the following was decided:
- The chair positions directly working towards SCRID’s goals and therefore have a need to be continually filled are:
- Certification Maintenance Program
- Professional Development Committee
- Membership
- Website
- All other positions are deemed ancillary and therefore were to be filled after the primary positions were filled.
- To allow student representation committee chair to remain vacant.
- To consider alternative approaches to the Support the Gap committee as was suggested by previous chair.
- Have the website fulfill the needs of the committee.
Issues and Work Carrying Over to 2011-12
- The SCRID Manual will be expanded upon to create a Procedures and Policy Manual over the summer. Items will be added to the website wiki. A calendar or gant chart will be created for the position of President by current President who will be immediate past president.

- Mailing for member drive was done completely online. You should be receiving post cards soon.
- Discussion point: there are still people signing up for memberships at this late time of year. The committee would like to offer memberships being sent 3 months prior to the new member year to be put toward the upcoming member year. Either this or a pro-rated schedule should be considered for later membership applications.
- Once the new membership drive is under way, I am going to ‘purge’ the SCRIDTalk memberships. A message will be sent out as a warning to current SCRIDTalk members.

Per the bylaws, if a president is not voted in at the May meeting, the SCRID executive board has the option to appoint someone as president.

2. If you know of anyone that could help out by chairing, co-chairing or assisting with the membership committee, please give them my email address! I am going to need help for the membership drive at the end of our fiscal year.
3. I am going to need a team to come together to do the mailing for the new membership drive. The team (or person) will just have to pick up printed materials, stuff materials and mail. This needs to happen ASAP.
4. Can we discuss how to move over the membership renewal process to almost 100% online which would mean no mailers?
5. Once the new membership drive is under way, I am going to ‘purge’ the SCRIDTalk memberships.

I. Call the meeting to order. With a quorum present, President Robin Taylor called the meeting to order at 10:04 AM.
II. Roll Call.
III. Reading of SCRID Mission Statement. The mission statement was read by President Robin Taylor.
IV. Approval of January 22, 2011 Agenda. Call for revisions. The year on the agenda should read 2011 and not 2010. Call for further revisions. None. (M/S CROW/SHANKER) Vote called. 4/0/0. Motion Carried.
V. Approval of November 13, 2010 Minutes. Call for revisions. Patty Drasin should be listed as the Lou Fant Memorial Banquet Co-Chair and removed from the Member/Visitor list. Call for further revisions. None. (M/S CROW/SHANKER). Vote called. 4/0/0. Motion Carried.
VI. President’s Report. See attached. In addition to the report, Taylor added per Dawn Buldoc, for the bi-annual conference RID allocates a set amount funds to each chapter for the chapter president to attend the national conference. Historically, a check was cut to the chapter to refund monies paid for the president to attend, however, from this point forward, in lieu of a check, the presidents conference registration will be automatically handled at the national office. Given the 2011 conference will commence after a new SCRID President has been voted in should the new president had already sent in their conference registration RID will issue a refund. SCRID will continue to provide the President a stipend to offset conference registration costs.
VII. Vice President’s Report. See attached. Discussion ensued of holding future SCRID meetings at San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC). Query made if SBVC would be a central location to pull interpreters from across all SCRID regions. Crow will report back if SBVC would be willing to host either the May or June 2011 face-to-face meetings.
VIII. Treasurer’s Report. See attached. Given Bernard is not here questions are deferred to email.
IX. Member-at-Large. See attached. One correction: The Lou Fant Memorial Banquet is 11:30a – 4:00pm not 11a – 4pm.
X. Standing Committee Reports
a. Lou Fant Memorial Fund. See attached. Drasin reported Barbara Bernstein may not be able to attend due to schedule conflicts. D’addario and Drasin to meet next Sunday to address the “save the date” cards. Additionally, electronic “save-the-dates” will be sent out using SmartLevels.com which was recommended by Daryl Crouse, SCRID Webmaster. Nominations and scholarship letters are due no later than the end of February.
b. Membership. See attached. Report stands as submitted. Everyone is encouraged to recruit for a Membership Chair. The position requires one to two hours a month of a time commitment.
c. PDC. See attached. Discussion ensued regarding inquiries from within the interpreting community about the qualifications of Seshi as the PDC Chair that stemmed from an outside email. Seshi’s qualifications were reviewed and the answers will be provided to those whom asked. Klyn queried as to when members would be able to expect their first workshop from the revamped PDC Committee. A tentative workshop has been slated for April 2011. The main issue is presenters not getting their workshop information back for review, approval and CEUs granted.
XI. Ad Hoc Committee
a. 2011 Officers Election. See attached. At this time, Crow will be stepping aside as Vice President and has recruited a replacement. Richard Bernard will run for another term as Treasurer.

XII. Regional Representative Reports

XIII. Old Business: None.
XIV. New Business:
a. SCRID Address Change. All committee chairs and officers need to compile a list of business associates to update the address (ie Franchise Tax Board, RID PDC, CMP, etc). Taylor will email the full board with a note to send Klyn their list. That list will be kept in the corporate books for reference. The new mailing address for SCRID is as follows: 2648 E. Workman Ave, #3001-290, West Covina, CA 91791. All forms need to be changed. Members need to be made aware as well. The new address has been posted on the website and SCRIDTalk.
b. SCRID Electronic Communication. Discussion ensued discontinuing SCRIDTalk and using the email distribution list of the website given emails can be sent directly from the website. Concensus is that SCRIDTalk be phased out by the end of May 2011. Notification will be posted on the website and on SCRIDTalk. In essence, information will still be disseminated but in a different format that is more streamlined from the administrative aspect.
c. Reorder SCRID Pens. The initial cost of the first order was $500 for 500 pens. Crow to call Monday, January 24 to research current costs of pens and the possibility of changing the highlighter color from pink to yellow. Crow will then email Taylor and Bernard to place the reorder on the SCRID credit card.

b. Patty Drasin – The geographic area that SCRID has to serve is huge. With the understanding that California already has five affiliate chapters, I would like to open a discussion about dividing SCRID. Discussion: We need to send a letter to National justifying why we want to split. It is easier for people to be vested if it is more local to them. Some alternate ideas might be taking advantage of technology. We could use the colleges that have distance capabilities for meetings, workshops, and Board meetings. There is also the fact Arizona has one AC. RID has told them they cannot split. RID does not want to hear about splits, but maybe we could look at redistricting.

b. Membership
c. PDC Seshi brought questions to the board regarding the set up of the budget. Currently it is stated the committee has $4000 to have 4 workshops per year. The committee queried if it was possible to use the same funding for 2 exceptional workshops instead of 4. Taylor explained that the budget wasn’t an establishment of how the committee should be run, however the committee should keep in mind that the funds brought in from a workshop will ‘refill’ the PDC budget. So the $1000 per workshop was to be utilized in advance of the workshop to secure an event space, speaker etc and the registration fees could then, in the perfect scenario, bring the committee to a break even status. It was clarified that any funds that are earned by the committee above and beyond the budget did go into the general fund.
Discussion regarding presenter fees ensued. It had been stated that there are no standardized presenter fees for the committee to work from. Taylor confirmed this to be true but assured Seshi that if the committee decided to establish a rate they could do so. It was clarified that this would not be an issue that the board would need to vote on, but it would be best for the board to be made aware of any decisions that were made regarding this. Taylor shared that the presenter fees paid to presenters at the National Center On Deafness for a 3 hour presentation are $250. A general survey will be taken on presenter fees with information being gathered from entities such as RID and SDCRID to get a feel for the standard rate and the committee will take those into consideration with regard to establishing a rate.
Seshi shared that as of the PDC’s last meeting they have 6 volunteers working under her chairmanship. Seshi will check on their memberships
Discussion ensued regarding conflicts of dates for SCRID workshops with other events. It was agreed that not all conflicts can be avoided.
Taylor will be sending information from presenters that have contacted her.
- d. LFMB D’Addario stated that information for the scholarships and nominations has been sent to the Webmaster, Crouse, however the old information is still posted to the website. Taylor suggests she resend the information to Crouse to post the information as a reminder.
A request was made to have the scholarship information emailed out to the board and chairs. D’Addario will send them.
A request was made to have the report for the committee include current works, works to be done in the future and works completed. D’Addario agreed to change the format of her reports.

VII. Treasurers Report. See attached. Current balance is $46,096.00. In regards to the narrative report, Bernard emphasized the easy banking process with Wells Fargo. There is no need for officers to go into the bank to change names on the accounts when the officers change over at the end of their terms. Additionally, there are more WellsFargo banks than Union in the event on-site banking is necessary. Lastly, there is no online banking charges for organizations unlike Union.

Taylor to follow-up with Crouse as to when the page will be up and running and individuals can resume paying for their CEUs online. Call for further questions. None.
b. Membership. See attached. The membership form has been updated to represent a 90 day processing time on hardcopy membership renewals/new memberships. This is partly due to the current PO Box situation but mostly to the living distance between Treasurer and Membership Chair. Even with the new PO Box a 90 day processing time could still occur given all board members live far distances from each other. The 90 day is comprised of members mailing in their forms/checks to the PO Box; PO Box forwards the mail via USPS to Treasurer; Treasurer mails forms to membership chair.
