Census 2010 Committee Members and Committee Chair</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">As
there have been various pressing issues before the board and membership in the
past several months, and as the Directors and Corporate staff are committed to
obtaining as much information as to the attitudes of the membership toward
these issues, we are considering creating a "Census 2010" project
for the SCA.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The
Board is seeking a team of enthusiastic individuals to help the SCA to create
and implement a one year plan to get a census-level survey in the field that
would cover the major topics that confront us, including "pay for"
issues, award structure as well as quantitative, qualitative, motivational, and
behavioural demographics such as age, gender, activities & interest areas,
and reasons for joining & remaining in the SCA.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">"Census-level"
means we are attempting to reach each and every participant of the SCA be they
member or non-member. A census-level survey will enable us to
understand our participants for purposes of marketing, recruitment, grant
writing, and planning. It will give us a good, non-anecdotal idea of whom and
what we currently are and are becoming. It will enable us to plan for the short
term and the long term. Most importantly, it will provide information
which will lead to better solutions to the problems the SCA and its Board are
facing. Keep in mind that all the individual responses collected will be kept
confidential and not sold or shared. All data to be collected or
published will remain completely anonymous.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The
ideal team member will have:</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">A solid background in research</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Skills in survey development, statistical data analysis, data mining</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Experience with different online survey systems and/or analytical software such
as SPSS</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Strong analytical skills</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The ability to work as a team and meet deadlines</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Responsibilities
will include:</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Development
of objectives, concepts, and other broad aspects Selection of survey and
analytical systems Development, design, programming, testing and fielding of
questionnaires Analysis of results, and creation of presentations, including
graphs, findings, and actionable recommendations Posting of all findings and
raw data online</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The
Census SCA 2010 Committee will report directly to the Board (via</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Ombudsman)
as well as interfacing with other members of the Corporate Officer Staff
(President, Society Seneschal, Treasurer, etc). One committee member will be
selected by the Board of Directors to act as the Census Committee Chair and
Project Manager.</span></p>

Writing Committee Member and Committee Chair</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The
Board is seeking a handful of motivated individuals to help the SCA seek
alternative funding possibilities through grants. </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Responsibilities
include:</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Create,
design, and implement a grant writing proposal process for the SCA. </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Identify
and target grant programs for which the SCA could qualify including researching
where to find appropriate funding. Other tasks could include creating a common
grant application format as well as exploring the possibility of outsourcing to
a professional grant writing consultancy.</span></p>

Manager.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The
Board is seeking individuals with grant writing experience and who understand
the grant application process. Individuals should have superior writing
and grammar skills, as well as the ability to work independently and meet
deadlines. Also important are an attention to detail and the ability to
understand financial and budgetary matters.</span></p>
