Important Survey! Please Participate

By virtue of the fact that you are reading this, I am certain you are passionate about ASL. As a doctoral student who is also passionate about ASL, I wanted to complete my dissertation on an ASL topic. It is important that research is conducted in our field and surveys are completed by people who deal with the issues on the daily basis. Please participate in this 10-15 minute survey to help me gather data to mold the field of ASL. Our passion and our profession will benefit from your time and my work.

If passion and the love of ASL is not incentive enough, a one-year membership to your choice of ASLTA, CIT or RID will be awarded to three randomly selected participants. Please click on this link now to participate. Thank you in advance for caring and for taking your time for this important work.

Thank you,

Ashley Chance Fox

Announcements

The Washington State - ASLTA Chapter will host the 6th biennial National Professional Development Conference of the ASLTA at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel on June 28 - July 3, 2011. Barbara Hayes is our conference chair. Further information will be on the web site and in the quarterly newsletter.

The ASLTA Board has approved the appointment of Colleen Evenstad of Rochester, New York as our new Chapter Affiliation Chair, effective on May 1, 2010. Congratulations, Colleen! She and Patricia Beech are making transition arrangements.

The newly revised Bylaws of the ASLTA will be completed by the ASLTA Board and sent to the membership for a mail ballot. Definitely, we need to update our Bylaws as the last time our current Bylaws had revisions was the year 2003. It is long overdue.
