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.

A.    Position – Inland Empire Region Representative.  After two years, it is time for me to step aside to allow someone else the opportunity.  I’m not resigning as of yet but I am looking for a replacement.  Once a replacement has been named, I formally announce my resignation.  Should someone approach you during your day-to-day activities seeking to become involved with SCRID and resides within the IE please have them contact me.  I plan to remain as a support to the individual who takes over the position; just more of the “behind-the-scenes.”  

B.    Workshop - Riverside.  The PDC and I are working with Diana MacDougall to present on her research recently published within the JOI.  MacDougall has rec’d all the necessary forms to approve CEUs, etc.  We’re in the process of discussing dates and anticipate a date by February’s report.

OLD BUSINESS

A.    Palm Desert Workshop.  See previous report for details.  1/3/10: No update.

B.    Fundraiser – IE Region.  See previous report(s) for details.  1/3/010: No update.
