President Linda Hutchinson called the meeting to order at 6:40 PM. The minutes were approved. The Treasurer’s report (attached) was approved.
Committee Reports:
Several committee reports are attached.
The Nominations committee reported that many lessons were learned regarding the use of Survey Monkey, so we will be better prepared to use it in the future. There were some questions about the use of Survey Monkey with this upcoming election, so the Nominating committee decided to use paper ballots instead of electronic voting. The paper ballots have been sent out and they are due back on Sunday, November 5, 2006.
The Newsletter committee reported that Connie McEowen has agreed to serve as newsletter editor of the Cutting Edge.
Old Business:
There was no old business to discuss.
New Business:
A motion was made for monies to be spent for the future President and future President-Elect (or another Board member in lieu of the President-Elect) to attend the Midwinter meeting in Reno, Nevada in January of 2007. It was proposed that the Chapter reimburse travel and lodging expenses in an amount up to $1000.00 per person, subject to presentation of receipts to the Treasurer. This was voted on and passed.
[This paragraph has been amended in accordance with the Executive Board’s vote at the May 1, 2007 Board meeting. The paragraph above is the revised paragraph.]
[The paragraph below is the paragraph that appeared in the original draft of the October 19, 2006 Board meeting minutes.]
A motion was made for monies to be spent for the future President and future President-Elect (or another Board member in lieu of the President-Elect) to attend the Midwinter meeting in Reno, Nevada in January of 2007. The amount of money proposed was $1000.00 per person. This was voted on and passed.
The Board discussed organizing a wine and cheese holiday reception in Baltimore. A gallery owner in Federal Hill has expressed interest in offering her gallery space for a future SLA-MD event. The gallery owner may supply the wine and cheese herself, but a motion was made to allocate $500.00 for the event just in case it is needed. This was voted on and passed.
There are two open positions on the Board for 2007-08: President-Elect and a Director. The president announced that she would request volunteers at the general business meeting to serve as the 2007-08 President-Elect and a Director. Back-up plans were discussed in the event that no one volunteers to serve as President-Elect and Director.
The need for future programs was discussed. Chris Olson volunteered to help plan a program. Connie McEowen and Tracy Landfried also volunteered to plan a future program. Susan Fingerman had already expressed interest in planning a Technology Day in the Fall of 2007.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Liz Scalia,
2007-08 Secretary
