ICRID Board Meeting
Minutes
Minutes for August 26, 2000
David Calvert opened the meeting at 11:20. David announced that Jayne
Kercheval had resigned her position as vice-president and that our new
vice-president is Judy Cain.
Jim VanManen gave a presentation about the Indiana Interpreting Certificate
Program IICP . He informed us that certification will be required in Indiana
soon.
Jim detailed the rules of the IICP. He stressed the importance of
getting the certificate before 2007, after that point, a BA or BS degree
will be required. CEU's must be maintained to keep the certificate.
Reapplication is required every two years.
A person who already has CI, CT certificate can send copy to Jim
VanManen and he will return it with the IICP certificate. Those who have
Interpreter Training Program (ITP) diploma and have passed the written
generalist test with RID should send proof to Jim.
You do not have to be a member of ICRID to have IICP certificate.
IICP certificate is free. Again, renewal is every two years.
The certificate will come from Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
(DHHS). The certificate will come in two sizes, one for mounting for
display and the other wallet-sized. The purpose of the smaller one is to
show if asked by the client.
IICP does not apply for educational interpreters. They will have
their own standards for their interpreters before 2002.
IICP Code of Ethics (COE) is very close to RID's. IICP COE is really
an expansion of RID's. There are 10 items in the IICP's COE.

completed at 12:35.
Jim's presentation will be given at the Annual Meeting (AM).
The AM assignments are as follows:
Presenters: Jayne will do CEUs and has already gotten two presenters.
DeeDee Ball will present a workshop on mentorship. Dr. Cynthia Roy
will be the keynote speaker for the banquet. Kathy Roche wants to do an
education track on child development. Jayne will contact some teachers at
ISD to do a workshop on vocabulary used in the classroom. Massage therapy
will be set up and a workshop on how to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
Jim VanManen will speak on IICP. Lynn will be the coordinator for the
speakers. Beckie and Lynn will work together to decide how many rooms
will be needed.
Downtown hotels are not available. Discussed use of IUPUI conference
rooms or the Waterfront. Best Western was also recommended. Lynn
recommends that we try to hold the same location for more than one year,
which may give us an edge when dealing with the hotels. David said we had
75 people in attendance for the AM, 15 people stayed overnight.
Beckie will take care of hotel and food. We have a caterer for the
food. We need to inform them of how many people to plan for. We have to
find a hotel that will allow the caterer to come in and serve.
We will receive $16,500 from the BAA for the AM.
Friday night we will have an optional costume party. The dates for
the Am are October 27, and 28.
DeDe and Shawn will get items to be auctioned. They have already
started on this. Greg Gantt was recommended for the auctioneer. Could
have prizes for the best dressed or coupons for ICRID or RID workshops.
Members were in agreement about that and thought that it would be good to
do a 50/50 on the coupons.
Judy is in charge of interpreters. Cynthia VanManen would help, but
since we got the money to pay for interpreters, we will not need DCS. Lisa
Moster is willing to help. It was stated that incidentals incurred at the
hotel will be the responsibility of the individual and not ICRID.
The theme is "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL".
Decorations will be coordinated by Nancy.
Registration will be managed by Randy along with Val and Amy.
Equipment will be coordinated by Bob.
Motions, resolutions and board minutes will be taken by Bertha,
Secretary.
Beckie will help with the writing of resolutions at the time of the
meeting.
Proxy cards will be included and possible bylaws changes will be
given to Janet Beattie. Janet will be in contact with Nancy. Janet will
mail the newsletter after Sept. 2, 2000.
BAA requires $3,500 to be used for minorities who can't afford to
come. BAA also pays for presenters travel and hotel, interpreters travel
and hotel, and meeting place.
The term registration has been changed to scholarship money: $5000.
The discussion of how to disperse this money. David will talk with Donald
Tinsley regarding this.
Printing will also be paid by the BAA. We can include printing
labels and packing of envelopes along with books and programs.
We need an itemized list of equipment to be used at AM.
Judy can inform the interpreters on the possibility of giving their
money back to the organization and taking it off as a tax deduction and BAA
would not know.
Fee for the AM for members will be $80.00, for non-members $100.00.
Plan to use proxy for the interpreters who are working.
The goal for next year is to have ICRID and IAD convention jointly,
which would be held in July 2001. IAD's convention is scheduled for June
2001.
The next ICRID board meeting will be September 23, 2000 from
11am-3pm.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:14.
