VLOG Description:
NorCRID President Terri Manning and VP Jewel Jauregui are seated together against a plain backdrop signing NorCRID’s 2016 goals and announcements of upcoming events. The video content is described below.
Two weeks ago the NorCRID Board gathered for a full weekend to set goals for NorCRID 2016. The Board narrowed our focus to 4 key goals for the upcoming year:
1) Invite the community to discuss the current state of RID and NAD on testing. On Sunday, March 6 from 3:00-5:00PM at the Deaf Community Center in San Leandro, NorCRID, CAD, and DCARA will co-present a community town hall. More information available online at www.norcrid.org.
2) Organize and improve NorCRID’s administrative operations and procedures. By setting in place best current operational practices, the NorCRID board will in turn create smoother transitions for future NorCRID boards.
3) Make the NorCRID website fully accessible that is easy to maintain. We are excited to announce the transition to a newly formatted website created by NorCRID’s Membership Coordinator Becca Danton and CMP Coordinator Carmen Olson. The Board is tremendously grateful to Becca and Carmen for their efforts in this labor of love. Please check out the improvements at www.norcrid.org.
4) Fundraise to perpetuate and expand NorCRID’s potential to provide engaging and educational events. Stay tuned for forthcoming announcements for a fundraising event currently in the works: NorCRID Movie Night!
