Presentation proposals are due in two weeks.  At this point in time, I know of one presentation but have not yet received any proposals.  Right now your board members are stressing out because we really don't want to hunt down presentations for the conference.  Please make our lives a little less stressful and get the proposals turned in.  :)

I've included the original notice below with ideas for session topics and some updates in red text.

Subject: [OKAIR] Fall 2012 OK-AIR Conference

It is with a sad heart that I let you know that Marion Dilbeck's wife, Barb'ra-Anne, passed away on August 17.  Marion is a long-time employee at Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and is familiar to most of us through UDS.  Several people have asked about making a donation in her name.  Board members will accept those donations at the Fall conference.  Details about a selected organization will be provided in an announcement closer to the conference.  The organization is The WildCare Foundation (7601 84th St. Noble, Oklahoma 73068; http://www.wildcareoklahoma.org/)

Mark your calendars -registration is open.

Fall 2012 OK-AIR Conference
October 25-26, 2012
Mid-America Christian University, North Campus
http://www.ok-air.org/

The tentative schedule is below.  Due to the interest in dashboards, there will be a panel discussion on the topic during one of the breakout sessions.  Vendors have been invited to set up booths.

Elections - two board positions need to be filled this fall.  The time commitment is fairly minimal.  If you are interested or know of someone who would be willing to serve , please send an email with the name, title, institution and brief biography (may want to include accomplishments) to Susy Jorgenson at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

Call for proposals - please use the attached form to submit presentation proposals by September 28.  We can only have as many breakouts as there are submitted proposals.  The following topics have been suggested, but other ideas are welcomed, too.

*         What does OSRHE do for me?

*         Update on Achieving the Dream

*         Surveys - comparing methods used to track overlapping data and answers, what surveys are being used, what does the survey calendar look like, when and to whom are results presented
The tentative agenda is:
