ATHEN Updates

After a hiatus it is time to get the blog up and running again. How better than to provide some updates on the organization to which this blog is entrusted.

• First up is Minutes for Accessing Higher Ground Conference Meeting 2007 ATHEN. These are the official minutes from the annual business meeting back in November. A previous post had some information and links (and an excellent picture of President Ron) but they were unofficial and incomplete.
• Next up is information on ATHEN membership. The membership application has been updated and we are now able to accept credit card payments through PayPal. Complete information is available on the Membership Page.
• The third (3rd) issue of the ATHEN e-journal is available for your reading pleasure (along with the first two issues). This issue provides an overview of the State of Assistive Technology Support for Students with Disabilities in the United Kingdom. The content of this issue came from our international members across the pond.
• The ATHEN Wiki is now up and running as well. Both members and n0n-members are welcome to contribute. I know that all of us have something to add -- the trouble is in finding the time to do so (kinda like running a blog)
• Several members recently attended and took part in ATIA and many more will be attending and taking part in CSUN. We will also be represented at NERCOMP (Educause), the UConn PTI, AHEAD, and the national Educause. Details on conferences past, present, and future will be presented in later postings.
• Also note that members and non-members alike are welcome to join the conversation on the ATHEN e-mail list. We would prefer that - if you are going to do more than lurk - that you join the organization. But all opinions are welcome (more or less).
