Message from the CAPCSD Secretary

The CAPCSD Secretary holds several important roles with the Board of Directors. Most people know the Secretary takes minutes, which is true! The Secretary takes notes at all Board of Directors meetings and Business Meetings. These notes or minutes are then sent to the Board Members for review, and then voted upon making them official. In addition to that, the Secretary manages all online voting practices and votes and is responsible for tracking the strategic plan. The Secretary also actively participates in Board discussions and provides organizational support as needed.

CAPCSD 2024-2025 SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION OPEN

Deadline: October 16, 2024

Committee Highlight: Online Professional Development Committee

CAPCSD's Online Professional Development Committee has been working to meet their charge to develop new online educational opportunities for members and programs.

The OPD Committee is chaired by Jana Waller, who is joined by original committee members, Samantha Lewis, Jayne Jaskolski, and Jessica Sullivan. These experienced committee members have been essential to development of online professional development content, and we thank them as they begin their final year of service. Jacqueline Towson and Yunfang Zheng will continue their contributions to the committee, and the committee recently welcomed Paula Pineda, Erica Williams, and Robert Serianni. 

A variety of speakers will deliver an exceptional fall series of webinars, and we hope that you will attend many of the webinars. The OPD committee developed webinars focused on the topics of artificial intelligence, clinical education considerations, ethics, student supports, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. One new change the OPD committee is eager to trial is the option to purchase a bundle of webinars at a discounted price. You can read more about webinar bundles below.

You can also locate information about webinars at https://www.capcsd.org/. On the top menu bar is a clickable link to Professional Development where you can select Webinars from the drop-down menu: https://www.capcsd.org/webinars/. A current list of webinars is located there and updated frequently. More webinars will be added for the fall 2024 as details are finalized.  Webinar information is also shared by email approximately 4 weeks before each webinar, so look for information to arrive in your mailboxes, too. 

While the committee moderates the fall 2024 webinar series, webinar planning for 2025 has already begun. Suggestions on topics of interest are always welcomed and encouraged. Please reach out with your ideas to vpopd@capcsd.org. 

In closing, the committee would like to send our appreciation and thanks to Colleen Schneider, Professional Development Manager for CAPCSD, who supports all the efforts of the OPD committee.
