Try to make a hybrid meeting for September.
TM will handle scheduling a room for us.
Ideas for using CDA funding:
Brad: $1,678 to spend ($757 was carried over from last year)
Can’t spend the money after the 15th. Alex Brannaman is the accountant.
- (Unanimous to do the following.) Judy Heumann lecture series proposal we could give some now and then later.
- Will have showing of Crip Camp at Film Scene too
- October UI Lecture series
- Reception too
- Go to a few classes too
- David Gould will be the moderator
- Could we have “captioning provided by CDA”
- CDA will get some press
- (Voted no) Thumb drives with software loaded
- (Voted to discuss this further if we can’t spend the money on Judy Heumann.) Accessing Higher Ground – annual conference on accessible technology – content leans toward technical accessible content (recordings from last year’s sessions)
- (Voted to discuss this further if we can’t spend the money on Judy Heumann.) AHEAD in Austin, TX
- Another option is giving it back to help cover the cost of something having to do with our mission – i.e. captioning at graduation
Future Funding
- Earmarking funds to people to go to certain training
- Make a scholarship out of it
- Provide captioning as needed
Next meeting will be 6/8 at Noon if needed.
