Doug Temple led the board in a discussion of the proposed 2001 budget. We should look for the best investment of excess funds that we can find. Doug Temple should look into how the funds should be invested. Mike McBride, VP- Administration, presented a proposal for the electronic distribution of membership lists and other chapter leader information, mailing labels and newsletters. Chapter leader notifications will be delivered via email to everyone.
Chapters can also download membership lists that are pre- formatted for mailing labels.
The board discussed concern that the Spring Field Trip had been posted on the website before it was printed in the newsletter. It is already filled. In the future, if a program is limited, we will not have it listed on the website before the printed materials are distributed. We would like to move to the option for members to receive the newsletter electronically. Members could choose whether they wanted to receive it electronically or in a printed version.
