June
12 Meeting Minutes
FACTSnet Adaptabilities/Disabilities
Symposium
-Date: Thursday,
August 8th from 5:30-8PM
-No
entrance fee
-Matt: will look into making a donation page for the event
-Format: We
will have a presentation format for the first half and then break off into a
few panel sessions
-Booking
a venue: Jeannette has not replied yet but Alison and Brandon will stay in
touch with her
-Main
focus: to create awareness of what people with disabilities want. Sometimes we
become too focused on what we think we forget that the ultimate goal should be
what these individuals want, not what we want for them (though it is important
to give them suggestions and direction also).

-I will
create a Google Doc on who to contact to advertise for the symposium:
o
Step 1: will be to
send out a general email asking how many organizations might be interested
o
Step 2: Go in person
to organizations that are in our constituency (for whoever is interested to
help out with this let Brandon know)
o
Step 3: Letter for
formal invitation
Letter to
Schools:
Everyone
has their hsummers post up and their summary
Brandon will compile letter and
send it to Dave for revisions
*Dave, I wanted to make sure this
is correct:
For sending out the letter to the
schools
·
Matt will update the database for Edmonton
Centre
·
Melody will update the database for Strathcona
·
Damian will update the database for Millwoods
·
Alison will update the database for St. Albert
·
Once the databases are updated, the person
working in the particular constituency (ex. Brandon in Edmonton Centre) will
email the letter
·
Alliah will then find out who is the head
coordinator for the music/disabilities/IT functions in public schools and then try to contact them in order to invite them
to network with FACTSnet
·
Brandon will find out who is the head
coordinator for the music/disabilities/IT functions in Catholic schools and then try to contact them in order to invite
them to network with FACTSnet
*Deadline for when the databases
must be updated: Friday, June 14
