PDC Portion of the SCRID Website:

• PDC is offering online registration for workshops.  As of today the online registration option has been popular for the “Catch the Dew” Workshop.

PDC Committee is under new management and re-organization:

• Tenele’s resignation became effective Dec. 15, 2009. All materials have been transferred to Danny and Tenele will be available via email/phone if help is needed during the transition period.
• On November 21, 2009 PDC had 8 committee members; however due to inactivity I have given members the option to resign for their commitments.  As of January 7, 2010 the PDC committee has 2 other members… Will begin looking for more volunteers shortly.
• PDC is re-organizing by giving members more responsibility for planning and executing future workshops.  The following is a break down of roles and duties, each category (besides chair) will have several people sharing similar responsibilities:

1. Chair:  Overall supervisory position as well as presenter liaison.
2. Registration/Logistics:  Oversees the registration process and room set up.
3. Promotions:  Promotes the events on various websites and seeks willing sponsors.

If you have any questions, thoughts, or recommendations on the re-organization process, please feel free to comment.

Training Manual:

• Training Manual is “complete”. Please let me know if you’d like a copy.

Google Calendar:

• http://sites.google.com/site/professionalaslworkshops/

My observations of the above calendar are that professional organizations, such as LiNKS, DPI, Love2ASL, Sign Language Factory etc… are not using this resource to plan dates for their workshops.  The only organization I see using it is SDRID and SCRID.  Perhaps our new SCRID calendar, which has multiple events from various organizations, should be used instead.
