1. Budget discussion for 2010-2011: The board recommended that all budget
categories remain the same as 2009-2010, with the exception of Scholarships. This category is being decreased due to
the actual amount being awarded. The proposed budget will be presented at the state meeting in Spearfish on April 16, 2010.
2.
Spring Meeting Agenda:
Susan reviewed
the agenda for the spring member’s meeting, to include discussion and approval of the proposed 2010-2011 budget, voting
on nominations for open state positions, and membership awards. At this time, the BOD will be represented
at the meeting by the current president, 1st VP, 2nd VP and Secretary-Treasurer.
3.
SOP Position Description
Updates were briefly
discussed. Shirley recommended that we change the Convention Chair to a 1 yr term rather than a 2 yr term.
This met with approval by the BOD. Susan will update the position description and send the SOPs out to the board for a final
review and approval. The approved SOPs will be communicated to the general state membership at the
spring meeting.
4. The Sponsorship Letter was briefly discussed. The primary contact for questions will be changed to
Lezlee Koch, Publications chair, pending her approval. Proposed changes to the sponsorship amounts have been made and the
letter will be finalized and disbursed in the near future. 5. Student forum applications: Deb Pravecek has received three applications at this point. Deb will
email the board with the names of the three applicants to assist with a final selection.
6. Legislative Days Protocol: Michelle will be formatting an official protocol for Legislative Days attendees, to include conference
registration, airline purchase, hotel reservations, reimbursement, length of stay, brief explanation of the conference, and
expectations of accepting the appointment (to include a newsletter article and chairing the Government Affairs committee for
ASCLS-SD).
7. Leadership Academy – if any of the Board is interested, or knows of other members
who are interested in being part of the next Leadership Academy class, please contact Susan for more details.
