NCR meetings, May 2006
On May 27, 2006 we held the CSI North Central Region (NCR) Caucus or Member Meeting. After introducing the distinguished guests, we heard a presentation by members of the Milwaukee Chapter encouraging attendance at next year’s NCR Conference in their city. The Conference will be August 2 to 5, 2007. There was some discussion of the “challenges” for NCR CSI members in attending the Winnipeg conference. There was also discussion of future NCR meeting dates and the value of NCR leadership training.
Immediately following the NCR Member Meeting was the NCR Board Meeting. This meeting actually started before the scheduled time, but since everyone present in Winnipeg was in attendance, the meeting started early. The first order of business was the approval of the minutes of the last meeting in Des Moines.
It was mentioned that the Region budgets $2000 for “seed” money for use by the Conference host Chapter, if needed.
Elected to one-year terms was Darrell Jones, Secretary and Dan Goetsch, Treasurer.
A lengthy discussion of proposed By-Laws changes followed. This was possible for the first time in years, since there was a quorum present. (Perhaps we should schedule all Region Board meetings out of the country!) It was moved and approved that the terms of office for Secretary and Treasurer be changed to two years. It was moved and approved that meetings currently requiring 30 days advance notice be changed to five days’ notice. There was an article-by-article and section-by-section discussion and approval of several other changes to the By-Laws. Most notable among the changes was making the senior Institute Director the President of the Region. Those roles had been separated several (seven?) years ago. The consensus opinion of the Board was that that had simply confused the scope of the officers. The Board will still elect the Region Vice-President, however.
Upcoming NCR Conference locations include:
2007 in Milwaukee (50th anniversary)
2008 in Central Missouri (to be confirmed)
2009 in Kansas City (50th anniversary)
