NEW BUSINESS:

T. Jennings suggested that we add an Annual Membership Meeting committee to our policy manual. Siguas made the motion and McCoy seconded the motion. MCU.

The board decided that we didn’t need to meet every month, but will try bi-monthly meetings with the exceptions being made for special events.

We approved a new program to help pay for secretary programs for league secretaries to use. The motion was made by Tscherter and seconded by C. McPartland. MCU

L. Jennings told the board that one of the things we learned at the Milwaukee workshop was that we had to have our scholarship program run through the “SMART PROGRAM” and that we were not supposed to be issuing checks to winners of our scholarship, but sending the money to headquarters and they would issue a check to the winner. While discussing the scholarship program, the board determined that $100 scholarship needed to be changed. Kadolph made a motion to give out up to three (3) scholarships a year for $250 each. Jacobson seconded the motion. MCU

Brian Harris turned in his resignation after the membership meeting in April. President Hawkins appointed Randy Moore to fill the vacant position. This position is a two year position. The board approved of the appointment.

Committee assignments were handed out.

L. Jennings and T. Jennings attended the IWBA workshop and brought back several customer services aids.

Hawkins gave his “Goodbye” as this was his final meeting as AAUSBC President. He then handed the gavel over to new President T. Jennings who said “Oh, NO!!”

L. Jennings asked board members to fill out an Association Customer Service Self Evaluation that he’d received at the meeting in Milwaukee.
