Hello everyone!  

About a month ago I mentioned that as part of the "revitalization" of SIG-11,
I would post a list of ideas that people could look at if they would like to
volunteer a bit of time. I have listed a few items. If anyone is interested
in sharing any of these ideas with another person, that is wonderful! You
could even post a request stating that you would like to work with a partner
on an submitting an article for the RESNA News if you are not interested in
doing by yourself. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know!  


What topics would you like to see at RESNA 2005 from SIG-11? 

If you are hosting an event (Computer Expo, etc.), let us know! There may be
many RESNA members in your area that would like to see your work, or just get
to know you! Send your information to Dave Jaffe at jaffe@roses.stanford.edu 

Would you like to help contact developers and researchers for exhibiting in
the annual Developers Forum at RESNA 2005. 

Would you like to work together with a colleague or two? Submit a proposal
for a workshop or instructional course. Proposal deadline is Wednesday,
October 13, 2004.  

Volunteer to monitor RESNA listserv and/or SIG-11 listserv for workshop
topics of interest. Bring to attention high areas of interest to listserv
members, as the listserv can provide content for evidence-based papers and
proposals! 

Contribute to RESNA by sending in questions for the ATP/ATS exam. 

Are you interested in writing a journal transcript for publication in RESNA's
journal Assistive Technology (TM) 

Submit an article to RESNA News. Examples of articles may include:

    * member feedback on computer applications or hardware
    * service delivery practices
    * research issues
    * tips & tricks you would like to share
    * frequently asked questions
    * professional concerns
    * top 10 Webster for freeware
    * etc.


Please feel free to contact me at jprioli@njpanda.org or 609/292-9742 if you

Thanks!
