Weekly Update:

11/25

    Sent an email to all members to inform them of the benefits of the
previous Faculty Development Workshop and encourage them to participate
in the next one.  Finished a letter to be sent to every DHH program (72)
to explain the ACE-DHH technology grant and motivate them to participate
in the upcoming years’ activities.

11/18

    Requested mailing labels from Margaret Finnigan.  Reviewed the web
technology survey.  Checked all the goal areas to determine who was on a
team and who we might want to contact personally to participate next
year.  Began a letter to each program to promote participation for our
next grant.  Sent speech syllabi to Sam Slike.

11/12

    Attended the Faculty Development Team meeting at Clarke School f/t Deaf
and the two day Faculty Development Workshop at Smith College.  The
meeting focused on a survey to be sent to all ACE DHH members.  I will
be responsible to contact Margaret Finnigen, Membership Chair, and have
mailing labels sent to Donna Mertens for this purpose.  As a participant
in the workshop, I definitely increased my skills in the use of
Powerpoint.

11/4

    Followed-up on the meeting with Katharine Stephans-Slemenda at the
Southeast Regional Conference on Deafness regarding her questions on
budget.  Also discussed the composition on the different syllabi teams.
Contacted Laurence Hayes and recommended specific members from ACE-DHH
to finish his team.  Discussed team ideas with Alan Marvelli.

10/28

    Continue to have my weekly contact with Harold Johnson.  Discussed the
budget and the problems associated with a decrease in funds.  How we
might change some objectives and what areas to modify to absorb the
decrease.

10/21

    Contacted Katharine Stephans-Slemenda to inquire about the syllabi teams
and suggestioned names of members who want to be involved.  Discussed
what the limit is for how many members can be on each team and types of
activities they might do to complete their tasks.  What technologies
could be employed to interact with one another and the funding for team
meetings.

10/14

    Contacted Richard Lytle regarding a time slot for grant presentations at
the 2000 conference in New Orleans.  Requested four hours for all goal
leaders and their teams to update the general membership and demonstrate
their products.  The time provided will be from 8:00am to noon.
Referred members to appropriate team leaders.

10/7

    Answered questions from members about what teams they may want to join
and what the teams will actually be doing.  Continue to reach out to
members via phone messages and email and direct them to the appropriate
leaders.  Solicited names from other ACE-DHH members who might have
specific expertise in a particular subject area and suggested they
become involved to assist the team.

    9/30/99

    Response has been good this week, many people have decided to join a
team.   Maintain contact with Katharine and try to answer questions.
Have been in touch with Alan for the same purposes.  Continue my weekly
meetings with Harold.  Wrote the President’s message for the ACE-DHH
newsletter and referred to the grant in terms of all the positive
benefits for members and updated them on what...

    9/23/99

    Wrote and sent a lengthy message to everyone on the CED listserv to once
again motivate faculty to join the teams.  Included the benefits of
collaborating with colleagues, the monetary reward and the opportunity
to receive travel funds to attend the ACE-DHH conference in New
Orleans.  Returned several phone calls and emails regarding the
composition of teams.

    9/16/99

    After several conversations with Katharine Stephans-Slemenda, she has
accepted our request to be the Team Leader for the syllabi team.
Explained duties/responsibilities and the budget.  Recommended various
individuals who have expressed interest in being the lead person for
select syllabi and will continue to make direct contact with these
faculty.  Sent numerous emails to encourage members to participate on
one of the teams.

    9/9/99

    Focus on team leaders and how I can be of assistance to them.  Search
for syllabi team leader.  This person must be knowledgeable of the
ACE-DHH membership and have excellent organizational skills because this
is the largest of the goal groups.  Consulted, via phone, with several
members and Harold to discuss who might be interested in this position.

    9/2/99
