BCHW Board
of Directors’ Meeting Selected reports were given by committee chairmen. Dave Jackson gave the report of the Special Committee on Tri-Rivers Contested Dissolution. The dissolution process followed both Chapter and BCHW bylaws and was accepted as legal and binding. Previous members will be assisted in getting a new Tri-Rivers Chapter established. Teri Starke, Treasurer, explained a new process for handling BCHW funds. Banking functions are consolidated with a single bank and there is now an Assistant Treasurer, Robert Eversole, and further help will be given by Sally Laib and Janet Acevedo. Dave Swanberg, Ways and Means, reported that Calendar sales made $2,300 this year (average annually for the past seven years was $700). A motion was made to charge $4 per calendar for VIP and BCHA giveaways. Motion passed 17 to 13. I voted against as I feel the VIP calendars are important PR for all chapters. We currently give about 10 calendars to our agency partners. There will be a BCHW Calendar Raffle in 2012 as a joint Chapter/State fundraiser. The program is being developed and probably calendars including a raffle ticket will sell for $20. Tickets will be drawn each month for a prize of approximately $500 and there will be a grand prize drawing in December 2012. Jane Byram, LNT Chair, reported on the trip to Washington D.C. to receive the ‘Award of National Recognition for LNT Program’. She thanked all Chapters who contributed to the travel expanses. Jeff Chapman and Louise Caywood attended with Jane and lobbied our Washington legislators. Ken Carmichael moved that BCHW conduct a pilot program on business sponsorships with BCHW. The motion passed and procedures will be developed in the next three months. Dave Swanberg gave the dates for the 2011 Rendezvous at the Ellensburg Fairgrounds – March 18, 19 and 20, 2011. Dave Jackson reported on a new proposed standing rule for forming new chapters. This will be put on the website and are adopted provisionally for the current group seeking membership in BCHW. Membership Secretary, Heather Moorman, reported that members are down 4% from last year to 1568. Training for Treasurers will be at the December BOD meeting. /s/Bill Ford |
