Board Report

I completed my board reports today - one for the Awards Redesign Team and the other for the online testing project.

I made a recommendation to the board that IAWP selects HostedTest as the provider of online test services for the Workforce Professional Development Program (WPDP). Another recommendation is to break each of the 4 WPDP modules into 4 components each. This would result in 4 study guides and 4 corresponding tests for each WPDP module. It's my belief that the program will be more attractive if it's presented in smaller chunks. People are more apt to sign up to study a 30 page study guide and take a 25-questions test than the current 100+ page study guide and 100-questions test.

As for the awards redesign, I outlined the plan to look at the membership and individual/group group awards (merit, citation, administrator, UI, veterans, etc.) by December 31, 2010. Then starting in January, we can work on the chapter awards (education, legislation, professional practices, etc.) Our goal will be to have a recommendation on them by the June 2011 board meeting in St. Louis.
