I. CALL TO ORDER
Ron Balash called the meeting to order at 8:40 A.M.
Cheryl Brendle presents an outline of courses being developed. The Committee met and would like to ask the Board to hire administrative help to do formatting, editing, cross checking with CACM documents, word processing student books and teacher books. She reports that there is one section missing from CACM. The committee is working on the teacher books and student books will come from them. Cheryl suggests wages to fall in the range of $12-$14 per hour and would like to hire 60 hours per month beginning July – December, 2006. This person would be hired as an independent contractor and would receive a 1099 at the end of the year.
The goal is to have the final outline completed by September 30, 2006. The committee is asking as the volunteers write the material to highlight words that should be in the glossary. At the back or the handout there is a list of people who are and will contribute to the writing.
Steve Brodehl asks if the committee wants the Board to ask for volunteers at the Annual Meeting. It is suggested that a sign up sheet broke down in certain areas be available. The committee will develop the sign-up sheets.
Ron Balash suggests using the outline as a handout at the Annual Meeting. A discussion ensued about how much the handout should include. Cheryl Brendle plans to overview the committee's work and what they have accomplished and what still needs to be accomplished at the Annual Meeting.
Agreed
Upon motion made by Lisa Campbell, seconded by Steve Brodehl, and unanimously carried, hiring administrative help for the Educational & Certification Committee not to exceed $6000 over the next 6 months was approved.
Ron discusses timing of the agenda and suggests 15 minutes for the Education & Certification Committee report and 5 minutes for other committees to report. The Agenda allows for approximately 1 hour doing the business portion of the meeting including the election of new directors. The Program Committee will provide a handout for people to make suggestions for topics of next year’s meetings.
A discussion ensues about the type of proxy to submit to the membership.
Agreed
