Agenda Items:

• Budget:

  • Discussed obtaining the past year expenses by category to be able to build a more accurate budget going forward. Michael and Jene will work on gathering information from past statements

  • Michael proposed opening an additional CD: Board discussed the plan before a motion was made and approved. $3,000 will be moved into a 12-month CD. Once we have a budget, the Board will evaluate the possibility of moving additional funds into short term investments.

• Spring 2019 PDT: Discussed a few of the barriers, to include getting members more involved in volunteering and assisting the Chapter. Various venues were discussed to obtain member assistance. In the interim, Michael and Jason both identified that they are available to assist more in ASMC’s planning; Jackie and Jana have also been identified to assist. ASMC is still gathering available conference area proposals and planning to visit new proposals.

• Member Participation/Training:

  • Board members again discussed various venues to get more people involved in the Chapter. Proposals ranged from holding regular Chapter meetings to more training opportunities.

    • Chapter telecon meeting will be held in late October/early November. Early agenda items have been identified as education/seminars and winter social.

    • Chapter survey following meeting to identify members wanting to assist in various training or events

    • Training was discussed:

      • Jackie looked into the possibility of members attending the DFAS purchased webinars. DFAS will open their AGA webinars to AGA members on a space available basis. Information will be posted on the website.

      • The Chapter will look into the possibility of purchasing a package and offering webinars virtually.

      • The Chapter will also look into the possibility of offering a virtual or onsite CGFM training course and other virtual training courses to members.

• Fall/Winter Volunteer Events:
