*Annual Meeting
 --Flyer had to be adjusted for spelling errors, then submitted to Jayne for CMP information and RID approval. The goal is to have it mailed before National Convention, and take
extras to Orlando with us. We will add an IAD category for registration, and one for those
attending Banquet only. Judy will contact Beckie regarding interpreting needs for the AM.
Dave Calvert and Cynthia VanManen had a meeting on July 20 to discuss Title XX funds to help pay for interpreters. We will need eight (8) interpreters (four teams of two) to provide both
interpreting and transliterating services during Business Meeting, Banquet, and the Educational Interpreter workshops. We also will need interpreters for Friday night's auction. Carrie Westholder is working on exhibitors. Leandra Williams will be a guest speaker at the
banquet. Cheryl Moose's registration fee has been waived.
Question from Judy: Will those Annual Conference Committee members who volunteer their time at the site have their registration fees waived? Discussion. Yes, if working on site, their fees are
waived. Judy will get names of those volunteers.

Awards/Scholarships
Janet Beattie will put information regarding availability of and qualifications for Marvin Marshall Scholarship into the next Newsletter. The deadline to submit an application will be Oct.1.
Dave will get names of the Scholarship Committee members.

There will be information placed in the Newsletter to encourage nominations for the Les Stanfill Award. We would like to give this award out this year.

Dave needs 2-3 weeks to have awards made, so we need to make sure a call for nominations is in the next Newsletter.

Discussion on outstanding volunteer for the Board Award.

*Bylaws
We are currently working on some wording changes to a few of the bylaws. The current wording is too ambiguous. They will be ready for posting in the Sept./Oct. Newsletter.

*Fundraising
 Judy is working on the SLICES grant, and the Lilly grant for the AM.

*Membership
Status quo, no new members.

*Newsletter
Letter from Janet Beattie read. Discussion of increased postage fees and how it will affect INSIGHTS mailings. Board sent the following questions to Janet for future discussion: 
1. Can we get volunteers for folding the Newsletter?
2. Can we get the NL metered, then bill ICRID?
3. What are her preferences?

We are up for the Silver Scribe Award at the National Convention this year. The winner will be announced in Orlando.

The new TTY/Fax/email Directory will be out soon. There is a new Newsletter (ILLUMINATOR) format out.

*Old Business
Evansville will change date of Sept. meeting to the 29th, from 11am-2pm. We will check on time change.  They will provide one interpreter, ICRID needs to provide the other.

Previous discussion about setting up a doctor's fund to pay for interpreting services.   Cheryl Moose checked with NAD regarding a policy. The NAD had talked with the AMA three years ago. This issue should be dealt with on a National level.

Voice mail is terminated due to lack of usage. Randy will contact Ameritech to terminate and request final bill.

BIS/EIS
July 1,2002 Standards have not been voted on yet. Interpreters need to register in state through DHHS if they meet criteria. Ruling by state will have same weight as law.  There will be established grievance committees.   Letters will be sent out to Indiana school districts on
August 1, 2001 regarding EIS information and survey. Next BIS meeting is Friday, August 24.

*New Business
There was a Region III President's meeting on July 8. There were motions made that we need to discuss and vote on...

1. Judy made a motion for ICRID to allocate $200.00 or more to reimburse Region III for National Convention promotional items to be passed out in Orlando. (Region III requested that
each state allocate funds for promotional items that will promote the National Convention in Chicago in 2003. This money will reimburse monies that Region III took out of .)  Bob seconded  
Discussion. Move to vote on motion as written.     Passed.

2. Bob made a motion to allocate $50.00 for Region III MIRID promotional items to be passed out at the Region III Caucus in Orlando. Nancy seconded. Move to vote. Passed.

3. Hotel reimbursement for ICRID President in Orlando. Bob made a motion to pay three (3) nights (Sun, Mon, Tues) lodging. Only ½ of the cost for each night to be paid by ICRID. Nancy seconded. Call to vote.   
Passed.

Board had previously allocated $20/per diem for food when Brenda Arnold attended a Region III Convention.   Do we want to provide this for seven (7) days in Orlando?   Clarification made: Because it is under allocated costs, we do not need to vote on this.  

President's Breakfast in Orlando is on Tuesday, Aug. 7th.  It is free for Presidents, other Board members must pay $30.00. This covers the cost of the room, food, and speakers.   Dave requests ICRID pay 50% of this cost for each Board member to attend. Discussion.   Each board member(4) attending breakfast will give Randy a check for $15.00. Randy will then send in a check to cover (4) Board members for the President's Breakfast out of the $3000.00 allocated for convention costs.

*Elections
Dave, Judy, and Antonette are all running for re-election for their positions. Randy is still thinking. We need to let Janet know so she can publish the names in the INSIGHTS.

*Announcement- Goshen College will be offering a BA program in ASL/English Interpreting starting the Fall of 2002.

*Judy made a motion to make Peggy Dickover an honorary member of ICRID. Nancy
seconded.  Call to vote.  Passed.

*Bob made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Nancy seconded. Passed.
