VII. New Business
A. Political Action Task Force – Tim Billings and Dennis Tynan; Purpose was to look at political recommendations process; Need input from teachers for October 20 meeting. What do teachers feel about recommendations from Board of Directors? Feeling that process is fatally flawed because non-votes are considered yes votes when they are not considered as such for other voting. Tim will be doing a presentation at RA on this.
B. Resignation of Juliana Romero from Board of Directors due to PhD program. Need someone to take her place on Board of Directors.
C. New Format for RA and Committee Minutes – At top, put information that needs action and minutes at the bottom. This should allow us more time at RA and Exec meetings to work on upcoming Chapter activities. Goal is to increase member participation. Complex sign in sheets at complex tables rather than sign in sheet at back table at RA. Each person needs to sign in individually.
