2007 Fall Newsletter  Printable Version (PDF)

Welcome!

Welcome To The First Electronic Version Of The STANDARDS NEWSLETTER!  This is just one more way the ACA Standards Team is "going green." We will continue to move to a paperless program, yet realize there is only so far we can go.

It has been a year of "new things" for the Standards Team: New/revised standards, a new score form, a new scoring process, new method for sending out the score reports and final reports, a new method for collecting the standards information for the section, and new staff. Overall, it was a very successful summer! We experienced minimal problems, made 50 percent fewer phone calls to visitors, received quicker responses to lapsed visitor notices, and received all twenty-four final section reports electronically! Much of the credit goes to you, the ACA Visitors! We worked through some slight challenges (missing DNAs or line on the score form), but all of you discovered the correct methods and completed the score form appropriately.

We hope you'll find the information in this first version of the Standards e-Newsletter useful as well as interesting. The Standards Team is committed to communicating on a regular basis in hopes of making sure you, the visitors, are updated and ready for 2008! Feel free to contact any of us: Rhonda, rmickelson@ACAcamps.org; Kim, kbrosnan@ACAcamps.org; and Cindy, candrews@ACAcamps.org.
