Jayna,
 
I would like it very much if you managed the election process.  If you need to set up a poll I can assist since I am the moderate on Yahoo.

Hey Everyone!

 

I would recommend that we move in the direction of setting up a board first via nominations, and then online voting via the polls available on Yahoo Groups.

 

Then from there, the board would be responsible for delegating the assigned duties and setting the direction of the group, and how we can all participate to make this a reality.

 

There are a number of different web/internet tools we can utilize to spread our message, but first we need to focus on our leadership!

 

The Law of the Lid - an organization can rise no higher than the lid/expectations that its leader sets!

 

I would recommend President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 3 at large members. These individuals can conduct online conference call meetings via group IM chats (which would also serve as a transcription of events for other members to view).

 

If needed, I would be more than willing to help organize this online election, and assist in the development of the group.

 

Any questions? Feedback?

 

Jayna

I recall a discussion about a name last year, and we came up with one we liked, but now I don't remember it.  Anyone recall? 

 

Lastly, the group needs a name. One that stands out and is not cumbersome.

actually I think a facebook group would be the easiest thing - but not everyone may want to get into facebook and people may have privacy concerns.

agreed...there should be a small fee, especially affordable for students in our industry, to belong to this endeavor. yes, there will be a sense of direction; goals and objectives.. .consequently a set of directives  would have to be in place to make this official and credible. a 501c is deemed a non-profit entity and to be considered as such would need a board of directors that can not conflict with any self-interest for gain nor profit. I don't mind donating a small stipend for the purpose of allowing this group to be publicized on the web. in fact, i'll even offer my info systems person to commit to the hosting for this group at my expense. let me know if this we, as a consensus, wish to go forward with. as for the name, it should be something catchy and yet clearly defining of our group.   Peter Berry your friendly dispenser --- On Mon, 4/27/09, satchers <ciiaudie@hotmail. com> wrote: From: satchers <ciiaudie@hotmail. com> Subject: [HOHAudiologists] Re: AAA Deaf/HOH Discussion Group Update!!! To: HOHAudiologists@ yahoogroups. com Date: Monday, April 27, 2009, 5:45 AM Hi Everyone! Kudos to those who want to move this group into a direction of being more official. I am excited about this prospect. I would like to point out that there has been an interest in having an official group for some time, however, it takes people who have "time" to get it running, get it going, and keep it maintained. I have offered to build and manage the website over the years, but I cannot single-handed fill it with useful content without help from the group. Secondly, we'd need a home on the internet. Either we find a sponsor, or we figure out how to pay around $100 a year for a domain name and webhosting. Perhaps a small annual membership fee would cover that. I'm ready to pay the first membership fee... $10.00 a head? If we take membership fees, we need to establish the group as a legal entity (e.g., 501(c)3) status) and setup a bank account. Lastly, the group needs a name. One that stands out and is not cumbersome. Let me know how I can help out. Samuel R. Atcherson, Ph.D. Little Rock, AR
