5.0       Name Change

            Extensive discussion occurred among those present at the meeting following President Buck¹s introduction of the motion.  Results from the survey showed satisfaction for the current name but also interest in changing the name to be more inclusive of our sub-disciplines.  Using the term ³kinesiology² in the name was favored by many who spoke to the motion, that the current name NAPEHE and the second surveyed choice, the National Association for Physical Education and Kinesiology in Higher Education, be included as the two names on the ballot, per vote of the business meeting on January 10. (From the January 7, 2004 NAPEHE Board Meeting).  After more discussion, an amendment to the motion was offered as follows:

Amendment to the Motion:  Move National Association for Kinesiology and Physical Education in Higher Education.  By S. Estes and seconded by R. Ruhling.  Approved

 

A non-binding straw vote was taken to determine the number interested in adding a 3rd option, that of including ³kinesiology² only in the name.  The vote was split.

 

President Buck reminded the attendees as to who was eligible to vote:  current members but not international members and if giving a proxy to someone, that individual must indicate the decision in writing.

 

President Buck reminded the members present that the pre-prepared ballot contained two options:  1) the current name and 2) the name as submitted by the Board on January 7.  With the Amendment to the Motion approved at this meeting, the second option on the ballot should reverse the order of ³kinesiology² and ³physical education² to read, the National Association for Kinesiology and Physical Education in Higher Education.  The ballots were distributed, collected and counted.  The results were 35 for the second option (National Association for Kinesiology and Physical Education in Higher Education)and 5 for the first option or current name (National Association for Physical Education in Higher Education).  The effective date will be contingent upon what J. Lund finds out about the process for changing the Articles for Incorporation which involves correspondence with the state of Washington. Quest and Chronicle editors (Joy DeSensi and Jimmy Ishee respectively) will communicate the name change in their publications.
