NDAHPERD Meeting Highlights
General Assembly
February 6, 2010
Central District Convention
Fargo, ND
This was an informal prior to honoring the 2009 award winners.
v Retiring Executive Director, Donna Terbizan, gave her closing remarks and expressed her thanks to all.
v Discussion was held in regard to registration for membership being totally on-line through the web site or doing both on-line and by mail. The group consensus was to go with only on-line registration. Notice for renewal would be done with a reminder through email.
v President Doppler reviewed the criteria for the NDAHPERD Grant and encouraged those members present to apply.
v Doppler announced that the State Conference would be held on October 20-21. Bismarck will be the location with the exact site yet to be determined.
v Members present were asked to consider submitting their own names for positions on the NDAHPERD board or to seek out other members and encourage them to run for office.
v Barb Bjorum has written a new HIV/Aids K-5 curriculum/lessons. She is looking for teachers interested in teaching it and trying it out for her. She may be contacted at Valley City Public Schools.
v Members were encouraged to check out the new NDAHPERD web site and give any feedback they might have to the board. After a brief discussion, the group felt they preferred to continue with a printed newsletter rather than doing one on-line.
v Terry Eckmann has placed a power point on the web site with talking points that members may use for promoting physical education.
v Contact information for our legislators was distributed in order that members might encourage their support for the PEP Grant. The funding for it is in some jeopardy at the moment.
