Agenda – Business Meeting – A.N.T.S. – 10-31-02

 

I.                    Call to Order & Introductions

 

 

 

2.                  Quorum Present?

 

 

3.                  Minutes

Our last business meeting was held on September 24, 2002 – this was also the first meeting of the new school year.  Copies of the minutes of that meeting are available for anyone who would like one. 

 

Since that meeting Terri has worked on a web page that is almost complete and should be published live on our UWMC website before the end of this week.  When we go live with that I will have the address posted on the monitors and will also send out an e-mail to all non-traditional students announcing it.

 

Sheryl Skibba, an English Professor on our campus has joined our group and is excited to begin working with us to get some of the new projects (website, day care, public relations boosts, etc.) off the ground and running.  She is full of energy and has many good ideas for our group and I am looking forward to working with her throughout the year!

 

4.                  Officer’s Report

a.      President – will be included in regular meeting agenda

b.     Vice-President – being elected today

c.      Treasurer – being elected today - we have no money in an account – we need to request our student funding allowance from Student Government after our election of officers.

d.     Secretary – as far as I know this position is still open and anyone interested should talk to me about having their name placed on the ballots.  If we have no interest in this position we will eliminate it and the other officers will share the responsibility when they can to take notes at the business meetings.

e.      Public Relations Coordinator – being elected today

 

5.                  Committee Reports

a.  Survey Committee – Patty & Jackie have been working on tabulating the surveys completed throughout the past year and a half by non-traditional students.  We may want to talk about times to do more of these surveys at a table in the hallways now that mid-term craziness is over!!

 

 

 

6.                  Special Orders of Business

None to discuss at this time.

 

 

 

7.                  Old Business

Any old business we need to talk about?

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.                  New Business

a.      Election of officers – ballots will be counted tonight or tomorrow morning and officers will be inducted into office Friday or Monday and begin their terms which run through the academic year.  Thank you to all who expressed an interesting in holding office and good luck to you all and I look forward to an exciting year working with you all!!

 

b.     Constitution & Bylaws – one of the first official jobs of the new officers will be to review and revise the constitution and bylaws for our organization and have those ready to turn in to Student Association as soon as possible.  We will set a meeting time next week sometime when we can all be present to work on this together.

 

c.      Notification of Reactivation Form – this form needs to also be completed and turned in to Student Association with our constitution and bylaws.  This form reactivates our organization from one academic term to another and lists officers and members of our club.

 

d.     Equal Opportunity Agreement – this form also need to be completed, signed by officers and turned in to SA. 

 

e.      Student Association Club Fund Request – Officers will discuss and complete this form also and turn in to SA this next week to request the $500.00 per club funds we have available as part of our student funds.
