[acb-hsp] ACB-HSP conference call summary for June 3, 2012

[Lauren Casey]

The program planned sounds very interesting. 
Sorry I won't be there. 
I do plan on being on the August conference call on 8/12. 
Perhaps next summer I'll be able to make Ohio.

  The call began at 8:30 pm. EDT., 5:30 pm. PDT.  In attendance were Marleen O'Neill, Andy Baracco, Darian Slayton Fleming, and Donna Williams.  The topic for discussion was a preview of the ACB-HSP program at the ACB conference and convention that will be held in Louisville Kentucky from July 6 through July 14, 2012, and a discussion regarding the future of ACB-HSP.  Regarding the ACB-HSP program, there will be a non-alcoholic happy hour on Tuesday, July 10 from 5:45 to 7:00 pm.  Non-alcoholic beverages will be served, along with popcorn, soft pretzels, and mustard dip.  The ACB-HSP business meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 11 from 1:15 to 2:30, and the presentation will begin at 2:45 and last until 4:00 pm.  Peter Altschul will speak on diversity in the workplace, and how to create a diversity training that includes disability as a topic.  Darian suggested that a training for employers regarding disability be created, and she will ask Peter about that in the question and answer session following his presentation.  The affiliate cost will be $8 preregistration, and $10 at the door.  The cost for the happy hour will be $10 preregistration, and $12 at the door.  The business meeting is free, but the presentation will cost $8 preregistration, and $10 at the door.  The topic of discussion for the August conference call will be a synopsis of what transpired at the convention.  Darian stated that she and Deanna Austin will collect dues at each event, and she will try to find out what members want for the future of ACB-HSP.  Due to a scheduling conflict for Darian, the August conference call will be held on August 12 instead of August 5.  A brainstorming session was held regarding the problem of low attendance at the conference calls, and it was agreed that this topic will be revisited after the ACB conference and convention, where Darian hopes to get some feedback from the membership.  The call was adjourned at 9:30 pm. EDT., 6:30 pm. PDt.
