RE: need to get a newsletter out soon

Hi,

Sorry to change the subject, but I just heard from an unhappy member...they haven't received a publication from us and they pay Section dues.....etc......I told her I thought the last one was May 2009, does that sound right to you?

I told her that the Section normally does one newsletter per year, but you know, if we went to an electronic version of the newsletter, we could send them out more frequently...should I ask Chris about the status of the newsletter or it might mean more if it comes from you...what do you think?

Thanks, Dolly! Have Marcus or Charley or Scott indicated they no longer wish to serve after their terms expire?

Hi Neal,

Yes I know what you mean, it's been a crazy week here too. It looks to me like there will be 3 vacancies this year: Marcus Brinks, Charley Allen & Scott Prince will be rotating off and Gary Bowman can re-up for a 2nd term, if he would like.

You will need to pick a nominating committee, and it has to include one person who is not on the board. This usually is done in April, but as long as they send a slate around to be approved before the annual meeting, that would be fine.

They need to come up with some folks who would be interested in working on the board. We need people who want to get involved and do stuff, like plan Seminars and update the website and come to the luncheon at the Annual meeting....you know what to ask for:-) I'm sure you can find some great people!

Thanks for checking in. TTYL

Subject: Board vacancies this year?

Dolly,

Do we have board positions we need to fill this year? Any terms expiring? Do we need to pick new officers in June?

Sorry for dumb questions. Expanding my firm right now and have been way to distracted.

Hope you're having a fun week,

Neal
