Discussed readiness for National Meeting next week.
- We met our deadlines for: Leadership Roster, Delegates, Rho Sigma Award nominees.
- Presidents remember to credential your delegates during the specific times.
- Roxanne Alter-NE coordinated Rho Sigma dinner. Thurs. @ 7pm; meet in hotel lobby after awards ceremony. Restaurant only one block away. Currently 29 RSVP yes, but expect more to come. Meal ~$40, make out check to Region VI.
- Tim is still needing volunteers for the ASCLS Booth on Tuesday from 3-5pm. (Unfortunately this time coincides with numerous governance meetings).
- Presidents should assign delegates to specific governance meetings. See the conference schedule for specific times.
- Students make sure to attend the Student Forum Orientation and Business Meeting.
- Everyone should try and attend the various Update sessions, receptions, awards ceremony, elections, and caucus meeting. See the conference schedule for specific times.
- Region VI Caucus is Friday morning. Will review budget, elections, and officers. Sheila reminded everyone that the Treasurer was a one year term (2009-2010) this time only so it would alternate with the secretary. This means we would need to elect a Treasurer this year. John Koenig nominated Renee Setina for another term, and she accepted the nomination. There will be a call for other nominations from the floor at the meeting.
Open Forum for questions, comments, and concerns
1)Neil Kumor, Webmaster, had a concern that the Region VI website was not being updated in a timely manner. Sheila has sent him lots of updated information for the site over the past few months, and Mike Bristol has not updated it. John Koenig reported that in years past the same issue arose, and Elissa Passiment had to be contacted to get Mike moving along. Tim will contact Elissa and see if he can get things going again.
2)Neil also asked if the Region wanted to continue with their virtual website domain separate from ASCLS. It expires in August. (We last renewed it 5 years ago). It has a cost of ~$10 a year. The council decided to renew it for one year in case we are unhappy with how our updates are going and want to switch to that site and manage it from there.
Motion to adjourn at 8:00 pm by John Koenig. Second by Suzanne Campbell. Motion passed.
