Legislative Update: Gaye informed us that Joanne Wilson, RSA Commissioner, wants to back out of WIA. CSAVR isn’t taking a stand on this issue. They are remaining neutral. Montana has just recently gone to an order of selection because of budget deficits in that state. SD also has a budget deficit. We do not know how this will affect us. Supported employment funds may become a federal match program in the future.
New Business: T-Shirts
We are still looking at purchasing shirts to sell to SDRA members. Nice ones cost about $16 a piece. We would like to have them ready for distribution at the Midwinter Conference. SDRA may underwrite a portion of the cost of the shirts. Some of them will be given as door prizes. We want to keep the shirts affordable. We will choose a couple of logos and send them by E-Mail to members so they can vote on the logo they want. We will then order the sizes we need. We discussed $10 as the selling price for the shirts.
Future Training: It is a good idea to bring training to local communities. It is less costly and more people are able to participate. Bernie is interested in bringing Richard Berry to the State for a one-day training session entitled “Angry Young Adults.” Richard is from Wyoming. The training would be held in Rapid City at first to see how it goes and if it goes well, further training with Richard will be planned in other regions. Richard charges $500 a day plus expenses. The training will be arranged prior to Midwinter Conference. RCEP and CTAT plan on doing an Employment Conference this next year.
Contributions for Awards: The Celebrating Success team is recommending a traveling trophy to go from office to office on a yearly basis for recognition of teamwork, etc. The team is also recommending something tangible for recognition in addition to a certificate (i.e. mouse pads, pens, mugs). SDRA will be asked to contribute money for these awards. Gaye will provide samples of these awards and costs and we will vote on the ones we want by E-Mail.
APSE: APSE has indicated that they would like to be more involved with SDRA. We need to clarify what
kind of relationship they want with SDRA. The SDRA Board would be willing to meet with them to explore this. SDRA would be willing to pay the costs for the local arrangements for such a meeting. We would probably in Chamberlain. We will follow up with this issue.
Committee Reports: We need to have them presented at the annual meeting which will be held during the Midwinter Conference. The committees will prepare a summary report and present it at the annual meeting. Kim will send notes to the committees informing them of the need to prepare a summary report for presentation at the annual meeting.
Midwinter Conference: The conference will be held March 4th and 5th of 2003. SDRA will handle the registration for the conference. We will conduct our annual meeting at the conference. We will consider hosting/co-hosting a hospitality event. The agenda is coming together.
Membership: There are currently 45 SDRA members. Bernie informs members when their membership is expiring and requests that they renew their membership. We will continue to look at ways to increase our membership.
Adjournment: Meeting was adjourned at 3:00 by Kim, SDRA President.
