Robin mentioned that due to transfers within the board, Denice &
Robin will not have completed a full year in their roles as President & Vice-President
when their term is done this summer. A motion was raised and passed to relax the one-year
& out rule so that Robin & Denice would continue their respective roles as
President & Vice-President through the next year.
Ann brought up that her term as Historian will be completed this
summer. She has been having difficulty finding a successor due to the varying activities
that this position is responsible for. Ann mentioned that it is a lot for one person and
suggested that the position should be divided into 4 subcommittees. Jeff passed a motion
and Denice seconded to re-name the Historian position to Communications Director and to
remove the Technology position from the Board as it now falls under Communications. The
Communications Director will have four subcommittees made up of Newsletter, Web Site,
Chapter of the Year, and National Payroll Week. Ann volunteered to be the Communications
Director for one year. If anyone is interested in a great opportunity to be on the
Communications subcommittee, please contact Ann.
Robin mentioned that the Job Descriptions of the Board Members need
to be updated. All board members are to review the web site and update job descriptions
for next meeting. Robin also brought up having the chapter do more community activities.
It was decided that we would do a community activity quarterly. (March, July, September,
& December). At May’s meeting it will be announced that we will be accepting
Donations for Crisis Nursery at the July meeting as that is the Free Business meeting.
Elise is also looking for someone to be the Conference Director for
next year. If anyone is interested in another great opportunity please contact Elise
Esper. The Conference Directors term is for two years with the 1st year
training with last year’s Conference Chair.
Ann brought the Chapter of the Year submission to the meeting. She
tied in the annual conference, CPP Study Group, monthly meetings, National Payroll Week,
and Volunteer efforts. The board will send a thank you to G&K’s Marketing Group
for their efforts in helping with this project. Great job Ann!!
Elise mentioned that the Conference is moving along. April 10th’s
meeting was held at Land O’Lakes. The timetable for the vendor fair and breakout
sessions has been decided. A big Thank you to Marsha Smith & Marlys Nelson for
coordinating this meeting. The next meeting will be held on April 28th at the
Cattle Company in Bloomington. At this meeting all conference volunteers have been asked
to bring topics for sessions. Marge Olson volunteered to be the Registration Chair. Thank
you Marge! Elise is still looking for a sub chair to handle Sponsorships.
Robin also brought up that the Metropolitan asked if we would like
them to vary the breakfast menu and that we need to renew our contract with the
Metropolitan for next year. The board approved both of these items.
Marge will look into having more membership forms printed. For now
please direct new enrollee’s to the web site. Marge will also look into ordering more
new membership pins.
