BRING OR SEND STUFF TO JILL FOR THE NMSTE GIFT BASKET FOR AN AFFILIATE DRAWING AT NECC!

Commitees:
Policies and Procedures Committee - Jason Wolfe Bylaw change recommendations http://nmste.wikispaces.com/Policies+and+Procedures+Committee 13 votes yes, Jason will check bylaws to see if we need to send it again. Jason will also look at what NMSTE //chairships// are up in January and we'll start asking people about serving.

Membership Committee - Larry Jeffryes Chair is working on membership list...paid and expired. There is some difficulty in determining this clearly. A few people have said they had trouble trying to renew. Several current "members" have NOT renewed. Several NMSTE officers expired or near expired. Marcy and Jill with check with AzTEA to see how it is going when they made all educators in the state members while paid members get the ISTE benefits plus some affiliate benefits. (Ex. Discounts at tech conferences? ISTE Conference [NECC] 2010 in Denver? ect.). Keep the Big Deal Book Newsletter a benefit to all, whether a member or not of NMSTE. Keep NMSTE membership fees about the same as currently structured it educators do choose to join NMSTE. Conference Committee - Awards Committee - Marcy Oxford Local events for those not attending NECC? Not any this year maybe next. Jason will let folks know about attending in second life. Library of Congress- NMSTE is one of 13 showcases at the reception. We can invite 1 additional attendee from the affiliate to attend. We will ask for a GUTS representative. We plan to cover the items below: RETA Webinars Podcasting and Vodcasting for Improved Achievement On-line Teaching and Learning Opportunity (OTLO) Animas Parthenon in Nashville project Gen Yes, Soccorro IDEAL NM GUTS Other suggestions: NM TIE Innovate Educate Super Computing Challenge [|www.challenge.nm.org/about]| Ft.Sumner

//Presentation proposal accepted: From Project GUTS to RETA to IDEAL, New Mexico supports student, teacher and adult learners with powerful 21st Century technologies. Come see the creativity of New Mexico educators at work. GUTS-"Growing Up Thinking Scientifically", a summer and after-school science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) project for middle school students; RETA - Regional Educational Technology Assistance program, statewide professional development helping New Mexico educators/administrators integrate technology; IDEAL-NM Innovative Digital Education and Learning, providing eLearning services to P-12 schools, higher education, and government agencies reducing geographic and other barriers to educational opportunity while increasing digital literacy skills youth/adult learners need to participate in a global economy.//

Jill is on 2010 ISTE NECC planning committee and will let NMSTE members know how they can help with the conference in substantial ways. Jill and Marcy will twitter and blog at NECC.

Advocacy Committee - Ferdi Serim Nothing new to report.

President - Jill Brown Affiliate wiki, [] , --three choices of ads you can use in your member publications for NECC 09. Also – remember we already have the NECC logo, powerpoint, flyer, and link to the NECC site on the wiki for your convenience. Let me know if you need any of this info. NMSTE meeting times not occurring on regular schedule. Which may have negative impact on participation. With new officers, hoped for increased NMSTE membership, and possible Denver 2010 participation coming in 2010, NMSTE needs to decide how and when it meets on a regular basis OR on as needed basis with survey determining time and date (as was the June 22 meeting decided). ** - Saturday 11 AM meeting time/date seemed to work for a time - WIMBA session for online worked well and should be continued - Meeting time needs to be set when NMSTE Exec Board can meet- Getting NMSTE Membership support, vote, feedback online (Survey Monkey etc)- Online newsletter, listserv, could serve as keeping membership informed. - Meeting times for general membership might only meet two or three times a year at conferences (F2F with WIMBA)- Separate Denver 2010 meetings scheduled by members on WIMBA with F2F as needed once we find out what Denver needs from NMSTE.
 * NMSTE will partner with the Arizona Affiliate AzTEA for a booth at NECC. They are manning the booth. We will need 500-700 NMSTE brochures for this. We are also considering partnering with them for a reception Monday evening.

Quest Grant opportunity $15,000 How would NMSTE use/distribute this grant? Committee?

Revamp of the website?  Finance Committee - Jim Carlton
