.GENERAL MEETING: Don Campbell reviewed plans for the FEA general
meeting scheduled for July 26. Items discussed included:

A. Meeting notification mailing. All members have been notified.

B. Gram Brest, Executive Director of the Baltimore Federal Executive
Board, will be the guest speaker. Topic: Organization of FEA Boards and
Associations.

COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN: The list of agency designees for the LFCC
(Local Federal Coordinating Committees) must be completed. Dr. Nancy
Coldeway stated that not all agencies have attended the FEA general
meetings. This being the case, some agencies could be left out of the
CFC. Nancy will write a letter for Tom Weaver\'s signature. This letter
will be mailed to each federal agency in the Eastern Panhandle requiring
a response. This information will be forwarded to Susan Gerhart. The
deadline for assembling the information is August 1, 1993.

CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS: Dr. Nancy Coldeway requested two changes in
the Constitution and By-laws. Under Article VI, Duties, Sec. 5, last
line, strike \"officers\" and substitute \"policy board members.\" Under
Addendum, paragraph 2, first line, strike \"Boards\" and add
\"Association.\" Don Campbell said he would contact Larry Ludke
regarding the changes.

Since a quorum was not present at the July board meeting, the
Constitution and By-laws should be voted on by the board and general
membership in September.

LOGO, STATIONERY, AND MEMBERSHIP CARDS: Dave Wright reported the logo
and stationery and cards have been completed.

SPEAKERS\' COMMITTEE: Don Campbell recommended that a speakers
certificate be prepared for the FEA. This certificate would be given to
guest speakers at the end of their presentation. Dr. Nancy Coldeway
suggested the FEA should also have a certificate for presentation to
officers after having completed their terms. Dave Wright offered to have
the certificates designed. Examples used in the Utah FEA were given to
Dave.

REINVENT GOVERNMENT: Dr. Nancy Coldeway reported for Tom Weaver on the
outcome of the Reinvent Government Committee\'s visit to the VA Center.
The committee is focused on streamlining government operations.

NEW BUSINESS: Dr. Nancy Coldeway suggested three items of new business:

A. Separate lists of FEA officers, policy board members, and committees,
including addresses, phones and fax numbers, are needed. Nancy will
prepare these lists for the July general meeting. The general membership
will be asked to sign up for committees so the board may approve their
committee membership.

B. The suggested agenda items for the FEA should be taken up by the
board in the August meeting to see which items have been addressed and
which have not.

C. Name tags for the membership are needed to facilitate introductions
at the FEA general meetings. Dave Wright will develop name tags for the
membership.

D. FEA needs to develop a bank account and 501 c status for the
organization to handle dues, luncheon fees and account for income and
expenses.
