  The SCRID Board and Committees would like to whole-heartedly thank those of you who attended our first few Talking Circles/Open Forums and invite you to join us again in the new year, 2022!  Any and all attendance/active engagement will continue to help shape the direction of SCRID and our collective response to changes in RID at the national level.  These sessions are a way to come together, in community, to share, support, and learn from each other’s diverse experiences and wisdom.  We all have much to share and so much more to learn.  Join, meet and greet, and network!

  We would like to take the time to engage and truly hear everyone's opinions and feelings during this session.  As such we suggest the following format adjustment to provide the most support and connection for all in attendance:

  - The first 30 minutes will be a large group discussion with a topic agreed-upon by the majority.

  - Afterwards, the next 30 minutes may become 2 Breakout Groups: A non-melanin group and a BIPOC group.
  (There will also be the option to not join a group--stay in the main room or leave/disconnect.)

  Some boundaries and general guidelines that will provide for the best use of our limited, valuable time are (in no particular order):

  1. Confidentiality and Sharing (maintaining the confidentiality of the group):  What is communicated here stays here.  What is learned here, please share.  Communicate only our own truths, on all occasions.
  2. Create and foster a space for learning and sharing.  Share our stories, feelings, and experiences rather than advise, solve, blame, or debate.  This means Active Listening--do not plan a response, be spontaneous.
  3. Check how much space you are taking up.
  4. Be open.  Treasure curiosity and openness to new ideas and concepts.
  5. Avoid Tone Policing.  Accept one another’s stories and emotions openly and lovingly, refraining from advice about proper storytelling, vocabulary/grammar, or unsolicited "helpful suggestions".
  6. Examine your defensiveness.  Explore our feelings of defensiveness for vital feedback about ourselves.  Find in the defensiveness ways for shattering old styles of perception.  This requires that we stay flexible and leave behind certainty and rigidity about our own opinions/beliefs.
  7. Pay attention and respond with love.  Read each other’s comments and hold them in our hearts.  Respond respectfully from our hearts. Use "I" statements to communicate to the point.
  8. Value our differences.  Regard our differences as sources of learning rather than division.
  9. Practice a culture of Calling "in".

  There may be more group guidelines that we agree to add to this list as we continue our Talking Circles/Open Forums.  If you have a suggestion or an addition, please contact a SCRID Board Member to work with us on providing the most safe, open, supportive, and professional environment for everyone.

  ----------------------------------------------
  

  Please join us for the Talking Circle/Open Fora of 2022--the 2nd Tuesdays of each month, 7:30pm-8:30pm PT.  We will continue our conversations, growth, and transformation.  Invite more of our friends and colleagues to engage too!

  Put your hand in it! A recipe for relevant progress in our profession

  Presented by Jonathan Webb

  22 October 2022

  9:00a - 1:00p PDT

  0.40 PS CEUs Available

  Location: Alondra Room, El Camino College, Torrance CA

  Annotated Map

  *No partial CEUs will be provided*

  *COVID Vaccination/Negative Test Verification Required. See below*

  
  

  Event Description:
  Many of us, when confronted with the call to enter volunteer leadership, instinctively take several steps back. There’s a common belief that we don’t know how to lead. Yet, if we look back on our lives we can often identify multiple examples of courageous leadership enacted with our own hands. In this workshop participants will be encouraged to consider the leadership skills they already have, and how those talents can be employed organizationally for the benefit of the profession and the communities we serve.
  

  Participants will:
  Explain in their own words what leadership means personally and explain the relevance of such in organizational leadership.
  Describe the challenges and obstacles to effective leadership, both personally and organizationally.
  Explain the role of leadership in our affiliate chapter and determine one way to engage more actively as a leader. 

  Target Audience:
  

  Practitioners, students, educators, mentors, and others invested in the profession of sign language interpretation.

  COVID Protocol: (The following information may be updated)

  All participants are required to adhere to ECC's COVID protocol, requiring masks to be properly worn indoors regardless of vaccination status. At entry screening points, visitors must show their vaccination card or a CLIA-approved negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of their visit. If they are unable to provide CLIA-approved lab results they will need to take a test at the ECC testing center.

  
  

  Location:

  This will be an onsite event. A recording will be made available for asynchronous engagement and the earning of CEUs for registrants unable to attend on site. Please note your participation mode on your registration form.
