Present:  Jo Bell, Linda Carl, Katrina Coble, Jim Curtis, Kathleen Dulaney, Libby Evans, Peter DeSaix, Phill Lyons, Rob Kramer.

 

Minutes Corrections:  Change Peter to Jim Curtis.  Change sentence regarding chairs to add Katrina Coble and Jim Curtis.

 

Treasurer’s Report:  Jo Bell distributed treasurer’s reports for the last two months.  She reported that she learned it was not necessary to keep all the notebooks we had with financial information.  Jo Bell also said that she was weeding through old notebooks and putting the information that needed to retained into files.  We only needed to keep the year-end report and the audit report except for the last 7 years for which we should keep all live data.  

 

President’s Report: 

 

Report on UMD: 

 

Membership:  The board suggested that UMA flyers be included in all HR manager-training sessions.

 

Program:  Katrina Coble and Jim Curtis distributed the program schedule for 2002-2003.  The board commended the chairs for the excellent range of their programs. 

 

Board members suggested the following ideas for further consideration for program promotion:

The program committee will try to get a door prize appropriate to each program (e.g. a book on this history of UNC for the campus tour).

 

Membership: Libby Evans reported:

 

Communications:  Kathleen Dulaney suggested a number of changes to the website.  She will prepare some prototypes to share with the board.  The board expressed a desire to have web page alternations meet accessibility standards.  She will attempt to find out what help might be available from SILS in preparing the site.

 

Employee Forum:  Peter reported he had been in contact with the Employee Forum.  While he indicated UMA would not be the appropriate sponsor for their fall meeting, he did indicate a willingness to have representation at that meeting.

 

It was recommended that the list serv notice indicate minutes were available at the website.  Committee members decided that a series of messages be sent out. There would be no schedule for these messages but care should be taken that the number of messages not be overwhelming.
