FINANCIAL REPORT:  The Board discussed options for printing conference material            now that the Lane ESD is no longer providing the service.  It was suggested that Thelma contact Springfield S.D. and Lane Community College for estimates.

                                    Beth Lund moved that the financial report be accepted as presented.  Tami Ruter seconded; motion carried.

2004 SITE:   The Board unanimously agreed to hold the 2004 OACTE Conference at Sunriver.  Thelma was instructed to make the contract arrangements and pay the necessary deposit.

CONFERENCE PLANNING:   The Board reviewed the 2003 Conference Evaluations to aid selection of sessions and the theme for the 2004 Conference.  Networking appeared to be the main focus of the evaluations. The following sessions were suggested:

·        Alternatives for C.C. students in programs that have been cut.

·        Sales and services initiative - Nancy (C.C.)

·        IT on a cart. (Beth - C.C.) Jeremy Anderson, Sabin.

·        Adjunct (part time) training.

·        CIM/CAM - Using CAM to meet CIM requirements

·        ODE integrated office presentation

·        Panel of experts in the endorsement areas

·        Six sessions on endorsement areas

·        Session on process

·        Possible roundtable session for presenters

·        Tech Prep (College Now) New way to teach? - Nancy

·        Extended Learning - Diane (?)

Beth Lund and Nancy Duncan will put session idea into a planner format.

 Nancy will contact conference attendees who expressed an interest in assisting with the conference planning process.  Nancy suggested that the September Board meeting be held in Bend and invite people from that area who are interested in the conference planning.  Nancy will provide the Board with details on the time and site of the meeting.

 An email notice will be sent out to conference attendees in October providing the dates and site for the 2004 conference. 

 A "call for proposal" for session presenters will also be sent out the end of September. Thelma will make a draft copy for approval.

 Theme Suggestions:  "Thriving and Surviving", "Thriving not Surviving", Thrive: Step Beyond Surviving Into Quality Programs and Maximize Resources".

 A sub-committee will be formed to work on ideas for a "Survivor Sunriver" theme for the banquet.

NEXT MEETING:       September 19, 2003.  Chemeketa Community College. Building 62, Room 101.  Noon to 3:30 PM, lunch will be provided.
