We owe them the unused money back but they can’t accept it back without the correct form. Loriis in the process of finding the right form.
Jennifer mentioned that Chapter Leaders were informed that APIC completed the Mega Survey of over 15,000 members. Salary information and job specifics are included.
APIC IN Vendor Pages-Jennifer asked APIC National if Chapter websites can solicit vendors to pay for space on their website- The response back was that as long as we follow the National APIC “Strategic Partners program guidelines for Corporate Relationships” (see attached) we are able to do so.
Jennifer clarified with National APIC that the Bylaws have to follow the national structure but the Chapter Handbooks can be changed to include extending an officers term. This is in relationship to being able to extend Lori Getts position due to the ISDH grant money issues.

Inregards to the APIC IN Vendor pages the “APIC National Guidelines for Corporate Relationships” must be incorporated into the Bylaws and adopted
Rhonda Reed presented information on Bill 162 Immunization for Healthcare Workers
The language gave too much leeway to not have to have certain immunizations. The bill went to Senate and then to the house. When it was presented to the house no one had sufficient data and it was more of an emotional response to the bill .The bill did not pass. APIC a letter proposing changes. IHA LiaisonBrian stated he would support APIC to rewrite the bill.
It was recommended that Jennifer have a discussion with the Public Health Policy Committee Chairman to see if there is any interest in the bill if it is rewritten. It may be better to just leave it alone right now.
