Minutes from May meeting approved without revision. Kavanaugh/Connolly-unanimous
- Ray reviewed the meeting agenda, and then charged the Executive Board to attend as many events during the Annual Convention as possible. An Executive Board member should be at each session where possible. The Executive Board goals for the Convention were listed as exceed expectations, renew the spirit and interest of members, minimize problems, and be fiscally positive for CHRIE.
- Agnes reviewed our financial status. She noted the difference in what was reported in the Communique’ and what the auditors had noted. She will explain the difference at the Annual Business Meeting. The key issue is members who renew/join after October 31 of any year. The auditors want that income deferred to the next year. The discussion of finances then carried over to other areas; dues allocation to chapters/Federations, dues in general, and the EUROCHRIE office.
- Reg reviewed key dates and times for the Executive Board for the week, briefly discussed strategic planning, and reviewed scripts for the Executive Board for keynote addresses.
- Dale presented a list of items he felt the Executive Board should deal with in the forthcoming year. Among the items were taping of sessions, the Midwest Conference, travel by chapters, accreditation not under liability coverage, e-mail lists, nominations supplemented by Executive Board, policy on use of CHRIE name, and policy on other groups such as IQUEST at CHRIE Annual Convention.
The Executive Board went into Executive Session following Dale’s comments.
Meeting adjourned by acclamation at 4:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Bob Bosselman
CHRIE Secretary
