A. Discourse Workshop - Riverside. As of this report, the Gendered Discourse workshop is up to 20 registrants. According to SCRID policy, we must have a minimum of half of the allotted seats in order to continue with the workshop as planned. Therefore, we must have a minimum of 20 registrants no later than April 22, 2010 before discussion of cancelling the workshop. At this point, we’ll be minus approximately $800. My concern is if we decide to cancel the workshop there will have been NO BENEFIT besides the LFMB for members to take advantage of during the current fiscal year. By canceling, this could harm renewal and/or new membership recruitment for the following fiscal year leaving us in a much harsher loss of revenue and/or support to SCRID. It is my argument we accept the $800 loss rather than to gamble loss of revenue or trust in membership. If we maintain a steady and focused direction with advertising, which includes all board members (this includes Chairs), I believe we could sell out and make a small profit. Currently, we’re advertising on Facebook (a workshop page and personal pages), Center on Deafness, Sorenson – Riverside and SCRIDTalk. I’ve attempted several times to advertise on OHSOEZ but its not taking on OHSOEZ calendar. I cannot stress enough that if everyone posts the Facebook page to their personal pages and/or takes a few fliers to work (ie CSUN, sends to their dispatchers to send out, etc) we’ll get more registrants. At this point, for every two times I re-post, we get one new person.
I am staying strong on the workshop and from my perspective SCRID will continue with the workshop unless otherwise instructed.
Currently, there are two deaf individuals who have registered; one DI student and an ASL teacher. The following has been secured: the hotel for the presenter, two certified interpreters, Riverside Community College and AV materials.
To note, most registrations have been online. This has been a great asset! The system automatically generates the confirmations to the registrants with a greeting from me. (How professional! I kiss-fist Daryl!) I also get a copy of the registration so its been extremely easy to keep track of. So far we’ve only had one person pay by check.

A. Fundraiser – IE Region. See previous report(s) for details. Kate and I will be working on this together after the LFMB. In recent communications with Alan, we’re looking at an October 2010 date. My only concern is if we don’t secure a date with Alan very soon we’re going to lose him given his 2010 calendar is already booking quick.
3/31/10: no update; need to have a phone conf with Kate.
B. Position – Inland Empire Region Representative.

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.”
