Agenda Items

  1. Approval of August 22, 2016 Board Meeting Minutes – All– Minutes differed.
  1. 2018IPMA-HR Central Region Conference

i.The Concourse of Madison ~ June 24, 2018 – June 27, 2018

a.The Concourse reached out – someone else wanted the room that we have for the vendors. There is now an alternate plan to move us to another ballroom. Vendors will be in a different room but all together and we will save money - $1,200. Additionally, by moving our general session to the other room, they will allow us to use our own equipment, so we could potentially save more money. The Concourse will send out a new contract.

b.Colonial Life would like the scavenger hunt to involve everyone. CivicHR, Government Jobs, Insight Management could hold an executive form?* I am not sure I recall this part, but I am thinking someone mentioned maybe they could do a breakout session as a forum discussion? Chuck/Becky? Someone from Lori’s group will help with Sponsors – Sari Maple?

c.Program Committee is meeting on Friday, September 22nd at 1 p.m. Becky would like the program on the website sooner, rather than later. Potentially want to have keynotes in place by December.

d.Do we want to offer the baby bird like the International Conference did? Yes.

e.Programs – we all liked the small ones that the International Conference had – the circle bindings and the smaller format was nice. We would also like to do the app.

f.Amy, Sunshine and Lori are going for the site visit in November.

g.Hospitality – Amy will reach out to the leads of the Social Committee.

  1. Website

i.Sunshine did the front page of the website on Wild Apricot. Chuck suggested that Roman or Sarah do the initial website through Wild Apricot and dump 123signups.com. Then, just use Wild Apricot. Wild Apricot can do both eblasts and membership. Will look at Roman doing the integration of the website. Lori would like everyone to update the website throughout the year, after the initial implementation is done by Roman. Each board member has a page or pages to update throughout the year. Sunshine will send out what she has done. Becky will do the registration site. This was in reference to after Roman sets up the registration site in Wild Apricot, Becky will handle monitoring/reporting on the registrations.

ii.Becky motions that Lori reached out to Roman to see if he can do the website and event management on Wild Apricot. Amy seconded. Passed.

  1. Adjourn – Lori motioned, Sunshine seconded. Motion passed.
