Call to Order:        The regular ASWA monthly meeting of the Flagstaff Chapter was called to order at 11:43 am at the Drury Inn by Kelly Robertson.

Business:                    The following business/housekeeping items were discussed:

ASWA Foundation Scholarships are coming up.  There are a couple of different kinds available.  If you know of anyone, please let Kelly know.

The Joint National Conference in Nashville, Tennessee is next week, Sept 28, 2010.  Kelly Robertson & Chery Willers are scheduled to attend.

The National Conference for next year is: ASWA 1000 Race to Charlotte: Recruit…Retain…and Win! The conference will be held in Charlotte, NC on October 24th – 26th, 2011.  We need to recruit 5 new people.

Kelly wants everyone to know that the Newsletter now comes via email.  Let Kelly know if you need to get it.

The Garage Sale raised $445 + 10 = $455.

The survey to decide if we wanted to use PayPal to be able to pay for the weekly meetings was:  5 yeses and 13 nos.  Emily does not want to do it.  So won’t activate the PayPal account for monthly meetings.  But will keep available so can be used for our next conference.

In July the Chapter had a $151 loss on lunch, in August we had $170 extra and the Garage Sale brought in $455.  So hopefully, we can absorb lunches for a time.  May need to charge for December’s lunch too.  Maybe have a potluck instead.  Let Kelly know if for or against this idea.

Fun Activity Ideas:  Cheryl thought a Cooking Class for ASWA would be a fun outing, $40 per person.  Tammy suggested a Friday lunch to go up the sky ride in October and see the leaves change.  Probably would take 2 hours.  Anyone interested?  Will be sending emails.

Call to Order:            The ASWA special board meeting of the Flagstaff Chapter was called to order at 12:05 pm at the Residence Life Building by Kelly Robertson.

Business:                    The following business/housekeeping items were discussed:

-          Kelly passed out the Meeting versus Non-Meeting Excel Models and went over the Chapter’s financial statement that had been previously emailed and asked if there were any questions.  The Chapter is losing money on each meeting.

-          The Chapter’s contract with the Drury Inn states that we pay for a minimum of 18 people for lunch.  The Contract is for July 1 to June 30, 2011.

-          Wendy went over Model handout – The Chapter can increase lunch prices or do fundraising?

-          Discussed – First time guests get their meal free, but after that they should pay.  Need to get this to Angie to put on the Website.

-          Discussed changing the way we sign in at our lunch meetings with Guests on back or separate for better tracking.

-          Discussed scholarships & member enrichment – Per Cheryl the Chapter has always participated in the scholarship even if we had no money.  Member Enrichment has only been an expense since the conference and had some funds to help members.  Could possibly link the scholarships to fundraising.

-          Cheryl thought speaker gifts should promote ASWA.  Kelly will check on ASWA logo gifts from our local provider.

-          Discussed Name Badge expense – will keep as a cost, however, if a member looses their badge they should pay individually to replace.

-          If lunch prices are left at $20 – No Fundraising & reduce Member enrichment the Chapter would be ok, about break even.

-          People did not like the idea of increasing lunch meeting costs at all.  Will revisit in a year.

-          If the Chapter raised its dues – when would it be effective?  When would we need to notify people?  Do we want to propose raising the annual fee to $30?  May need to present at regular meeting for a vote.  Need to check the By-laws.

-          Could consider charging people regular lunch meeting price for the August bowling meeting.

-          Discussed RSVP policy – if you RSVP but do not cancel or show up you are still responsible to pay.  We need to enforce this rule.  Will add to sign-in sheet a column showing who RSVP’d.

-          Discussed the possibility of allowing people to pay for their lunches online when they RSVP.  Will ask Angie to look into this as an option.

-          Discussed Fundraising:  Angie suggested a Garage Sale in August or September.  Or a local Ethics class for a one day or ½ day seminar.  Maybe have another conference, maybe in 2014, would need to get our conference on the National ASWA schedule.

-          Discussed Joint meetings – Do the guests pay member or non-member prices?  Also, it is 2 hours of CPE – so could raise prices for all.  Decided that the Joint meeting will be changed to $30 for all.

-          Wendy will finalize Budget based on discussions.

Adjournment:            The meeting was adjourned by Kelly Robertson at 1:02 pm.
