Hi San Diego CUE members,

We need your help this year! If you aren’t already aware of iVIE, the annual film festival conducted by the San Diego County Office of Education, this is a great year to participate. Now in its 7th year, this student film festival -which receives hundreds of entries each year - has out grown its old venue and is moving to a larger facility, the Rock, in Point Loma.

Because we are moving to a much larger facility for the ivie awards ceremony this year, we will need many more volunteers to usher and assist attendees during the evening of the ceremony, May 20th, 2008.

Help will also be needed to supervise the Red Carpet event and move people into the auditorium by 6:00 PM.  We are asking volunteers to arrive at 4:30 for a short orientation before the crowd starts arriving at 5:00 PM.

A light dinner will be provided.

Please click on the volunteers needed link at http://www.ivieawards.org/ (direct link - http://www.ivieawards.org/volunteer.asp )
Thank you!!!!

CUE Leaders -

As you know, the 2008 CUE Board of Directors Election ballot closed last Tuesday. We’ve verified the ballots and I am pleased to present you with the results .

First off - thank you for helping to recruit such an excellent field of candidates – it was a very close race! We received a total of 777 responses to the Election Ballot, with 720 completed ballots cast. Each ballot had the potential of containing one to three votes, in this case, creating a total of 1,888 votes cast. This represents a total of 18% of the membership. This is in sharp  contrast to the response from past paper ballots. As one might expect with a highly-qualified ballot roster, the voting was close, with a range of only 15% between highest and lowest vote-getters.

The results are as follows:

* Jerome Burg - elected
* Cameron McCune - elected
* Sharon Sutton - re-elected

Those not receiving enough votes to be elected were:

* Otto Benavides
* Vanitha Chandrasekhar
* Terry Faherty

They join continuing board members:

* Brian Bridges (2006-2009)
* Steven Glyer (2006-2009)
* Barbara Keenoy (2003-2009)
* Kurt Larsen, Ed.D. (2007-2010)
* Micheline LeBlanc (2007-2010)
* Debra White (2004-2010)

We thank all the nominees who ran and the affiliates and members who nominated them. It is essential to the mission and goals of CUE that we have a vibrant leadership that is constantly seeking input and guidance from its affiliates. Your support of these nominees and board members makes this possible.

I will alert the entire CUE Membership on Tuesday, May 6, and post it on the CUE website later that day. Should you already be thinking ahead, our 2009 board nominations are due on December 15, 2008. Visit www.cue.org/boardofdirectors to view minutes and download information about the nomination process. Visti www.cue.org/election to learn more about all candidates, including those elected.

I look forward to the vision and vigor of these new and returning members, as CUE moves onward to its next 30 years!

Thanks,

Hello San Diego CUE Members,

The election for the CUE state board of director’s is taking place. If you haven’t voted already, please take a few minutes to do so before the April 22nd deadline.

Among the candidates on the ballot is Sharon Sutton. Sharon is a former San Diego resident and also chaired the ASK ME volunteers for the 2006 NECC conference that was held in San Diego.  SDCUE endorses Dr. Sharon Sutton’s candidacy for the CUE board and encourages you to vote for her in the election. Sharon has been an advocate for Southern California interests during her 3 years on the board and is running as an incumbent for re-election.

If re-elected, we are confident that she will continue to make a valuable contribution to the statewide organization while also serving the interests of technology-using educators in Southern California.

To vote for Sharon Sutton go to the CUE website (http://www.cue.org/election) and click
the login link on right-hand side.
