# SIG Leadership Change
#* Outgoing Chair, Vishal Singh
#* Incoming Chair, Floyd Davenport
#* Incoming Vice Chair, Anne Adrian
#* Incoming Vice Chair Elect, Emily Pitts
#* Thanks to Vishal for his leadership over last year
# Review SIG Goals
#* Disconnect between members of IT SIG vs. those who get awards C&A
#* How do we engage more IT people in IT SIG work?
#* Q&A about the IT categories, participation, etc.
#* Floyd shared a little about his team's Bronze winning entry about RAGBRAI 2008
#* Talk to program board about learning about awards won in our SIG's categories
#* Reviewed Spring 2009 report to the ACE Board
#* Our SIG did not award an Award of Excellence this year, should consider doing that next year
# Professional Development Goals
#* IT professional development isn't only for hard core IT professionals, open to all extension that might be interested via eXtension's PD announcements
#* Even though lots of ideas brainstormed last year, difficult to find the right person to present some of the topics that were suggested
#* Thanks to Anne for coordinating our SIG's professional development sessions last year!!
#* eXtension willing to host up to 28 ACE SIG sessions using web conferencing. Need to go through Larry Jackson to claim some of those sessions for IT.
#* We can do more sessions if we want to pay for them
# Use of SIG funds for 2010
#* Can be used for anything that the SIG wants... books for members, rebroadcasting a session we didn't originate, etc.
#* Maybe have more interactive sessions with more discussion. Unsession format perhaps.
#* Book reviews as professional development. Whuffie Factor, for example. Perhaps highlight key points of the book, then have a discussion of how it applies to what we do.
#* Vernon - ITO - applying technology to business processes
#* Transition from state T1 network to county's finding own networks
#* GMIS - Government Managment Infrastructure Sxxxx - professional group to build contacts
#* Scriptaculous for Java Script
#* Survey whole SIG for topics of broad appeal - Floyd
#* Virtual Office - portability of county extension educators
#* We'll ask Larry Jackson for 6 of the web conferences for IT SIG
#* Second Thursdays, 2 PM Central (3 PM Eastern)
