Progress Report/Tasks Completed:

The Future Directions Committee met September 15-17, 2000 at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, site of the 2002 conference. Present were Judy Bischoff, Cathy Buell, John Charles, Bill Forbus, and Susan Hall (Chair.)  A significant amount of the meeting time was devoted to development of a theme for the 2002 conference, with related discussion of conference schedule, format, and recommendations for speakers and facilitators. The adopted theme will be Show me the Money: A Rubric of Accountability for Physical Education in Higher Education. Four organizational strands or subtopics will be accountability issues related to 1) faculty, 2) students, 3) administrators and institutions, and 4) society at large. Each organizational strand may include topics both internal and external to the academy. Additional discussion of “future directions” for the organization yielded six action items and one discussion item for presentation to the NAPEHE Board in January.
