Should we have state dues? Could be premature but may help
with small items (ie: postage). Right now goes to national, $5.00 per member
comes back. Postponed this decision to
future. Committees: decided that
they are not needed yet. Membership ·
Active Members – Must
pay dues to the National Association and be an Extension Educator, Program
Assistant or Faculty with an Extension appointment. (See bylaws) ·
Honorary members- Need to be voted in by active members and
are then part of the state chapter. However, they don’t need to pay dues to
the national association. Also, they have note voting rights.(See bylaws) ·
Nathan mentioned the possibility that some members of
outside business/other organizations may ask to become members and then try
to use their membership as advocacy for their group (ex. Coal company). We
noted that the bylaws state that we have to vote as a quorum and honorary
members must explain why they want to be members. This should be reviewed by
everyone in by-laws. Consider increased protection, name can’t be used
separately by another organization without approval by board. ·
Active member/voting member must also be a national member. Web Page ·
Decided that we will create a basic web site, with member names,
area of specialization, with links to national site and Extension web page.
Also, we will keep notes from past meetings and our bylaws on this page. Other Business ·
Discussed having quarterly meetings as we get started. ·
By-laws state that a quorum can occur by telephone/email. ·
A project or goal could be to have networking/education
session. ·
Could offer awards at Extension Awards Banquet. ·
We should use the Master Naturalist program as a platform to
advertise ANREP. Comer
motioned to adjourn, Robert seconded. Adjourn 6:39 |
