Contact Information:
- Since the Spring meeting is drawing closer we
will give out each others contact information. Tom DeVore will put
in place a spread sheet of contact information of vendors, speakers,
etc making it easier for future board members and to use at a later
date for future meetings. This information of course shared by board
members only. It will include status such as confirmation status,
topic, presentation turned in etc...
Request from Speakers:
- Speakers will be expected to turn in any
presentation to the CSS 1 month prior to the meeting. This
information will be placed on CD’s to be distributed to members.
Susan suggested that the CD’s be more decoratively labeled with the
CD label showing through the CD case. Susan also suggested that in
the future we look at putting the presentations on flash drives for
attendees.
WORKSHOP:
- Plan is for 5 CEU’s / CEC’s. Starts at 9 am,
will end at 3pm
- Currently the cost is $75. However, the board
is working on getting this event sponsored. If so the cost will go
down to possibly less than $20.
- To be held in the Tara Ballroom. depending on
size split groups for a smaller close size and all will get all of
these CEU’s available
Presenters for the Workshop: (not in any particular order, and no guarantee at
this time).
- Newer 10-20 hook-up.

Speaker status:
Most speakers have been confirmed. Will post to website once we have all
information available. As always speakers are not guaranteed since emergencies
can arise and substitution may be made.
Misc. Planning:
- ID tags to also include name, place of
employment, title
- Looking at alternatives to the typical bagels
breakfast for Thurs and Friday.
- Next meeting Sheri Ruth will have menu ideas
to vote on.
- Give-aways discussed. Will finalize next
meeting
- Plan on 9 CEU’s on meeting + 5 for workshop.
Website:
- Logo contest. Several very talented entries,
but none show any history or a universally recognizable symbol for
the CSS. All agreed that the contest will end but will continue to
allow for entries. If one is given and agreed to use that person
will receive free registration to the Spring meeting.
- Hotel prices start at $83. Post to website
- Sleep students those who are in school in an
allied health field, CEU’s / CEC’s’s

Games and Activities:
Several games and activities have been discussed in detail. These plans are
being worked out by a couple of the board members and all attendees will see and
participate at the next meeting.
Discussed, but no conclusions:
- Lab membership / Business membership that
include job openings that would stay on the site for up to 3 months.
Will have to consider price of posting and number of posts that a
business member can have. Will also include membership for one
person for one year. Price to be determined.
Vendors / vendor ideas:
As well as many of our favorite vendors we are looking at adding a table for a
“job Market” this would be a place to post jobs available, it would be a self
service type of area with a board member or volunteer keeping an eye out to
replenish pamphlets etc as needed. Details to be worked out.
Adjournment:
With nothing further to discuss meeting was adjourned. Next meeting will be at
Palmetto Health March 22nd at noon, Tom DeVore to host.
