The president replaced Gail Evans as Executive Treasurer for the organization this year.  Jackie Lund was nominated and approved unanimously by the board to serve a term at the position from 2003 ­ 2006.  The Foundations Committee will evaluate her performance on a yearly basis to decide whether to extend the contract past 2006.

4.02      Past President     Judith Bischoff   Written

 

The 2005 Conference will be discussed later in the meeting.  Judy has been working to clean up the typos and clean up the bylaws.  Most of the changes have already been passed.  Copies of the current bylaws need to be updated with these changes.

 

            4.03      President-elect     Marilyn Buck     Written

 

            The next NAPEHE Board meeting will be held Wednesday, April 2, 10 am until 2 pm at the AAHPERD convention.  The place will be announced at a later date.  Marilyn has been busy putting together the various committees for the upcoming year.

 

            4.04      Vice President     Mel Finkenberg   Written

 

All proposals for this conference were submitted electronically except 1.  Alyson Wrynn was thanked for the help on the conference.  Mel suggested in his report that a vice president should be on the site selection committee to avoid signing contracts that could not be met.  To date, we had met 61% of our room commitment.  The staff of the Queen Mary had let us out of the commitment without paying for the unused rooms.  In the future, the selection committee must consider the commitments made during contract negotiation to avoid having to pay for unused rooms.  At the present time, 98 people had registered for the conference, with 120-130 anticipated. 

 

Mel also urged board members to consider getting non-members to join the organization.

 

            4.05      Vice President-elect          Jan Rintala         Written

 

Jan distributed flyers and area guides for the site of next year¹s conference.  The 2004 conference theme will be ³Promoting Physical Activity Across All Populations.²  Jan needs clarification from the board about possible membership incentives so that she can announce those when sending out registration materials.

 

            4.06      Secretary            Jackie Lund (Interim)       Written

 

            4.07      Executive Secretary/treasurer          Gail Evans         Written

 

There was $8,287.17 in the checking account as of November 30,2002.  This includes $3,935 that belongs to the Diversity Fund.  The following Oppenheimer funds were as follows on November 30, 2002:

 

            General              $4,254.21

            Memorial           $16,189.97

            Lecture              $16,017.67

 

The board needs to make a decision as to whether  the Diversity Fund should be moving to an Oppenheimer account.  Gail also recommended raising the OPERA fee to $150.  The OPERA funds have made NAPEHE solvent over the past year.  Most chairs would not hesitate to pay $150 for the service.

 

Human Kinetics was the only organization to sponsor a lecture this past year.

 

Gail also thanked the board for their support over the past 13 years.  President Ash recognized Gail for her service.

 

4.07         Jackie Lund

 

NAPEHE has $5,982.09 in the new checking account which includes $1,000 in seed money from Gail.  The savings account has $9,230.24. 

 

After a discussion, it was decided to leave the lecture funds in the general budget rather than the conference budget.

 

The new budget was presented.  Judy Bischoff asked for money to be allocated for the Past-president¹s breakfast.

 

5.01      By laws Article XV         Affiliate Member Organization

 

This discussion centered around what would happen to the affiliate money if the organizations were dissolved.  A question had been raised previously and the affiliates thought that their money would be absorbed into NAPEHE funds.  Marilyn noted that she had never seen a budget for an affiliate organization in all her years on the board.

 

After reading the bylaws, a discussion followed about cleaning up the wording regarding affiliate memberships.  Sharon Gutherie noted that the affiliate report to the NAPEHE Board should contain details about the activities of the group.  Since the Future Directions Committee had included suggestions about the affiliates, the discussion was suspended until that committee presented their report.

 

5.02         Booth at AAHPERD

 

At the April NAPEHE Board Meeting, it had been decided to discuss the AAHPERD Booth at the January meeting.  The following discussion occurred.

 

Leah  Fiorentino noted that the booth at AAHPERD was more of a meeting place for goodwill and public relations rather than a tool for recruiting members.  Gail Evans thought that department chairs were important for recruiting new members.  Bill Forbes felt as though NAPEHE needed to market itself better.  Valerie Wayda thought that the specialty conferences would be good places for recruiting new members to NAPEHE.  It was decided not to have a booth at the 2003 AAHPERD Convention.  No board action was necessary.

 

5.03         Institutional membership              Jackie Lund

 

We currently do not have institutional memberships.  Gail Evans suggested adding this category with institutions paying $150 to receive NAPEHE publications.  Currently Human Kinetics sends Quest to places where we don¹t have members.  It is in the publishing contract that we have with Human Kinetics, but we receive no money from this.  The contract with Human Kinetics needs to be researched.  Additionally, the present contract is up for renewal so this can be done at the same time.  Marilyn will look at the contract and publishing rates and report her findings at the April board meeting.

 

In a related issue, she will look into publishing NAPEHE proceedings from the conference.

 

5.04      2005 Conference              Judy Bischoff

 

The 2005 conference will be held in Tucson, AZ.  Members are allowed to bring their own AV equipment.  Judy passed out brochures for the site along with a summary of the contract.  The complementary nights listed on the contract summary will be given to the Future Directions Committee.

 

6.01      Sport Discus                   Jackie Lund

 

Sport Discus has approached NAPEHE about the rate charged for access to NAPEHE publications.  Jackie Lund will pursue this and find out what Sport Discus wants (abstract, full text of article, etc.) and clarify the fees associated with this.

 

6.02      Code of Ethics                Jackie Lund

 

Brad Coyle has made an inquiry about a NAPEHE Code of Ethics.  A discussion followed and Jan Rintala noted that many organizations have them.  They typically cover issues of plagiarism and/or professionalism. Marilyn Buck stated that AAHPERD has a Code of Ethics.  Marilyn will set up a committee to look at whether NAPEHE wants/needs a code of ethics and report back to the board in April.

 

6.03      Affiliate Membership                   Jackie Lund

 

The question was raised as to whether the affiliate liaisons need to belong to NAPEHE as well.  Since the affiliate liaisons are voting members of the board, members of the board must belong to NAPEHE.  This topic was postponed until the report by the Future Directions Committee.  After reading the bylaws, the wording indicated that affiliates do not need to be NAPEHE members.

 

6.04         Steps to Health in Congress Sponsorship

 

Item was withdrawn from the agenda because the time frame of the item.

 

6.05      Karen DePauw/Virginia Tech                     Charles Ash

 

A discussion of the situation at Virginia Tech concerning Karen DePauw followed.  The issue was reported in the Chronicle for Higher Education in November.  The discussion centered around whether the organization will support Karen in someway and the nature of this support.

 

Leah Fiorentino made the following motion:  The Social Justice Committee, in conjunction with the Executive Committee will create a draft of a resolution which will be sent to the Board of Visitors at Virginia Tech and copied to the Provost, and the President will be presented at the business meeting Saturday morning.  Camille O¹Bryant seconded the motion.  Motion passed.
