  • Newsletter Archive update

    At the last Board meeting, Alyssa Hedge passed on a stack of old newsletter related documents. In that stack, we found three of the old newsletters we have been missing. Thank you Alyssa! We now have 41 of the 44 published newsletters and only lack 3 issues from 1996: Issue 1, Issue 3 and a few missing pages from Issue 4. If you happen to run across these old issues, or know someone who might have them, please let Chris Jones know by emailing cejones1@gmail.com or by phone at 587-5193.

  • January 26, 2009 Board Meeting Summary

    Administrator

    The first board meeting for the 2009 Board of Directors was held on January 26. After reviewing photos taken by Ross Hise, everyone decided to publish a group picture for the newsletter.

    Paperwork
    Minutes from the Jan 4 meeting were approved. Copies of the October 2008 Bylaws and the January 2009 amendment were circulated for signatures. Signatures from former board members need to be tracked down. Board procedures were reviewed, including a brief overview of Roberts Rules and its modification for small meetings. Standing rules were adopted to:
    • Require a second to motions
    • Allow friendly amendments to motions
    • Draft minutes may be placed on the website.

    The Board requires all meeting minutes be approved before posting them online. At the January meeting, the past three General meeting minutes were approved. I have placed them online and you can view them by clicking the Minutes tab above or clicking here.

  • Election Results

    Administrator

    The January 11th meeting was held this past Sunday with an excellent turnout. The Bylaws committee recommended one amendment to the Bylaws that fixes an election issue involving runoffs that was adopted by the membership. The Nominating committee presented the results of their hard work, a slate of 11 members who are interested in running for Officer and Board positions. The Election committee then took over the meeting and proceeded with the annual elections. It was a quick election, with no new nominations from the floor for any position. Each of the 11 nominated members won their Officer and Board positions by acclimation. Here are the Officer and Board members for 2009.

    President: Jeff Russell
    Vice-President: Ken Moyer
    Secretary: Claudell Migl
    Treasurer: Helene Maham
    Board Position 1: Chip Rosenthal
    Board Position 2: Cheri Hartman
    Board Position 3: Candy Ellerd
    Board Position 4: Kelly Vaccaro
    Board Position 5: Alyssa Hedge
    Board Position 6: Sandy Perkins
    Board Position 7: Lynda Oaks

    We look forward to an exciting and challenging 2009.

  • Message about upcoming Elections

    Dear NSCNA Members,
    Our January meeting is a few days away, and the main topic will be elections of board members and officers. The Nominating Committee has release the nominees, and this letter includes a candidate statement from each. Click here to read each candidate’s statements. Hopefully, you will have a chance to learn about each candidate prior to the meeting. (The statements are listed alphabetically.)
    With the new Bylaws that went into effect last year, the election procedure is slightly different: each board member position will have a separate vote. We also have a separate Election Committee will handle the details of the election. I think the new procedures will actually speed up the meeting, and to make sure everyone stays “entertained”, we will feature committee reports and like while waiting for any vote results.
