For those of us who did not attend but have an interest, could a few of you who di attend give us some bullet points as to what took place?
Frank has psoted a few things relative to debates on this forum which I want to thank him for. But lacking the patience to go and read back thru the minutes, would love to hear what the high (low) points we're?
Elections were held. We are now implementing the new governance structure.
Pres - Rob Copeland, VP of Member Services - Mark Gill, VP of Community Services - Michael Heather, VP of National Operations - Leo Letendre, VP of Local Operations - Julie Heather, Secretary - Meg Smath, Treasurer - Tom Boak. These 7 plus immediate past president Jim Miller make up the Executive Committee.
The new Board of Directors (all elected, none appointed) are the 8 from the Ex Com plus 8 at-large directors: Jeanne Ensign, Michael Moore, Laura Winslow, Anna Lea Roof, Nadine Day, Carolyn Boak, Jerry Clark, and Betsy Durrant.
The HOD authorized the hiring of an Executive Director. Money was budgeted for a search and salary for part of the year. The BOD is already working on the process, but it will late in the year before hiring is actually done. It would be wonderful to have someone in place by the next convention, but there is no guarantee that it can be accomplished by then.
That's all I can think of right now.
