7.02 Bylaws Shaunna Mcghie (written)

Shaunna has changed the web site slightly with a URL code. Shaunna has the power to correct typos and obvious errors. Shaunna also wants officers to look at operating codes and look for corrections which need to be made. E-mail Shaunna about any changes to be made. She is trying to clean up the by-laws and eliminate any redundancy. If there are changes that should be made, they will be brought to the board for action. She also suggested that the Parliamentarian and Archivist be given job descriptions and that committees have operating codes. Hally suggested that we may not want to make this change. She will check with other organizations and see which procedures they use.

The Publications committee is in the process of creating an operating code. A question was raised about deleting Opera from III H since it is no longer a newsprint publication. In 1996, Jim Bryant suggested the deletion of III I but it is still in the code. Hally noted that if either is deleted, it must be voted on by the membership. Sustentative changes can be brought to the board in January for board action.

7.06 Membership Ginny Overdorf (written)

Ginny asked Board members to send suggestions and ideas for promoting membership.

A suggestion was made that Charlie send a list of presentations to the membership so that they could plan early to attend the conference.

Proposals are due July 24 so that CUAC is encouraged to submit session ideas. Also, the lecturers could be publicized. A prize might be offered to the person who brought in the most new members.

Ginny has a $300 budget.

More membership brochures are needed. It was suggested to add a line “recruited by” to the brochure. A contest for recruiting the most members might be held.

Gail noted that the “personal touch” works (i.e. when NAPEHE members contact friends and invite them to join).

Charlie stated that only about one-half the members attend the conference. He questioned whether we wanted to focus on increasing membership or getting them to attend the conference.

Ginny wants to concentrate membership efforts on the Southeast. Marilyn reported that she has an electronic directory with 1,000 names on it and the potential to send membership information to them. Membership is important to an organization therefore we want to push it. The membership committee needs to have continuity on it.

She has contacted people advertising in the Chronicle of Higher Education to see if they are interested in advertising the position on OPERA.

The issue of adding a nominal charge to this service must be addressed. The publications committee will look into this.

The web site name has been changed to match the name of the department at Cal State Fresno.

Sally made up a flyer advertising OPERA. Sally will submit a bill to be reimbursed the $10 copying costs.

7.10 Technology Mel Finkenberg (written)

The Technology Committee needs to add one more member to the committee. They want to do a survey and can do it electronically. They also want to give directions about the Gold Book. Gail Evans reported that the Gold Book is up and running. Members can get to it via the NAPEHE web page.
