Social
(Cindy/Marilyn) /
  • NWI/Installation update
/ Marilyn reports:
Overall success, however here are the drawbacks
1)Small space: could not host as many vendors
2)Difficulty working with venue coordinator (recommend not to use this venue again)
Suggestions for next year:
-Spend more money on venue rental fee. Even though this year’s venue didn’t charge rental fee, there was hefty charge on food.
-Increase budget to accommodateincreased attendance. Suggest $11000 budget for next year.
Webmaster
(Amanda) /
  • Amanda had a pass-down meeting with the previous webmaster on 2/5
  • Start using google drive to archive photo’s
Current ideas and future goals for website:
  • Establish a defined brand for SBLBSHP as a whole (consistent abbreviations, etc.)
  • Update the website content (new board, etc)
  • Update CSHP links (which have recently changed w/ CSHP’s new website)
  • Promote links to newsletter archive hosted byISSUU.com
  • List 2016 Board Meetings and dates/locations
  • Reach out to CSHP and see if there is still a staff member who is in charge of websites (per previous webmaster, previously there was one but they lost contact after several staff changes)
  • Keep Facebook page for now, but consider other “professional” networking sites, i.e. LinkedIn group
/ Tim reporting on behalf
Tim to clarify with Amanda about “defining brand for SBLBSHP” (first bullet point)
CSHP Liaison
(Lisa) /
  • CSHP BOD mtg - The CSHP Board of Directors met January 24-25 at the CSHP Office in Sacramento. President-elect Vicky Ferraresi and new Directors took their oaths of office.
  • Membership reports and Rebates – Chapters will start getting their membership rosters and Chapter rebates in February. The CSHP office also needs to copy in the Board Liaisons (Lisa Lum) for the rosters. Please let me know if you get a roster that I am not included in the distribution.
  • CEO search update – After unsuccessful search for CEO, the Search committee recommended to the Board to go with a Recruiting Firm that specializes in Executive job searches, and the CSHP Board of Directors voted to accept the Search Committee’s recommendation.
  • CSHP Office update –a Bookkeeper was hired to help with finances. There is still an opening for an Office Manager.
  • CSHP Board of Directors update – Kali Sommer, a Director from the NCAL area, very regrettably had to resign from the CSHP Board due to personal and professional reasons. James (Jim) Scott from the San Fernando chapter accepted nomination to serve in place of Kali until the next election.
  • ACPE accreditation – CSHP passed their ACPE accreditation audit this month. ACPE performs an audit every 5 years. That means we can continue to award CPE at Seminar and other education programs. The accreditation materials were compiled and submitted by Cindy Bouris from the CSHP Office staff, and she did a phenomenal and very professional job getting all the materials together and submitted to ACPE well before the due date.
