AGENDA

Missing: Stacey Ritter,Steve Taylor, Chris Dean, Bart Peterson (NATA BOD Liason),
Old Items:
KSI Joint Project: update from Russ, Russ has a few states that he wants to give a couple of weeks to continue to try and get a few more responses. Those states are OH, MI, MA, PA and TX. The response has been good, we just want to increase our numbers.
Case Studies- update from Russ and his meeting with NATA IT people. Here are our options:
1.We can have the case studies document hosted online, so that a student can buy access to an online reader with the e-book. It sounds like we can do this fairly cheaply but the downside is that it doesn’t allow students to print out the case studies. How important do you think giving the ability for a student to have a hard copy is?
2.We can host a simple pdf online for purchase and downlaod. This would be the cheapest and allow students to print it out but would also be the easiest to share without paying. With all the options you trade off printability with protecting duplication.
3.We could sell the online pdf directly to the program director and have them pay a license fee per student. We could then share the pdf with the program director and they could distribute the pdf to their students as they wish. The downside here is that the program director would have to collect the money from each of their students.
4.There is also the option of some type of print on demand service. Downside here is that there would be no electronic copy, we’d have to pay a fee and there would be some lag time in delivery where a digital version would be available immediately.
NATA SSATC Session and Alumni Party:Discussed the shirt, 100% cotton, will be unveiled at the Alumni party.
PPG and PIG-Larry Cooper is still going through this, many changes were needed. I will let the group know when I have completed it for one last review.
NATA Based ATSA Curriculum:form a sub committee to investigate what information we should include in the generic curriculum, involve the Alumni. Kembra has agreed to chair this subcommittee as she wrote the state of Arkansas curriculum. Dan Newman will assist her when he comes on the committee in Las Vegas.

NEW ITEMS:
Dan Quigley asked if we would be involved in the Young Professionals Committee social event like last year. I had planned on asking anyway, thank you for the reminder.
NATA Hall of Fame for SS AT’s, how do we get the word out-David McAllister, involve the Alumni. This is the email that David sent me; I did a little research on the NATA website to see how secondary school ATs stacked up.Needless to say the Hall of Fame is top-heavy in college folks.Of the 277 current Hall of Fame members only 19 are from the secondary school setting.The individuals listed below are the only members of the NATA Hall of Fame who either spent the majority of their career in the secondary school setting or made significant contributions to that setting.The date is the year they were inducted.Looks like last year was the best one for secondary school ATs to be inducted.This year there were none.Hopefully, we can come up with some good strategies to promote the individuals in our setting who are deserving of this honor.
