Business: Bob
Petrach, Nominations committee, talked about what our board might look like
in 2010. There are opportunities available and we can use the help of more
volunteers. Chengyin Yuan our current Chair Elect said he would not be able
to be Chair for 2010 or be able to stay on as Chair Elect. Chengyin told us
that John Agapiou, our current Chair, said he would be able to continue as
Chair for 2010. Gary Shepperd, Doug Ruffley and Larie Smith said they would
be willing to continue in their current positions but would prefer to step
aside to allow someone new join the board. Stacy Behrens our Membership Chair
for 2009 said he would not be available for a board position in 2010 but
would be able to help out as needed. Stuart Selis has resigned as Secretary
and is making a career change that takes him away from SME. John Dinovski
will not be able to be on the board for 2010. Bob Petrach said he would
either be able to be Membership or Programs Chair for 2010. Positions
that are open for 2010 are Chair Elect, Secretary, Programs and Membership.
During discussion of combined roles, Howard Weston, Chapter 001 mentioned the
only combined role SME accepts officially is secretary/treasurer. However
Howard pointed out for 2009, Chapter 001 had combined secretary and chair
elect and he recommended we not worry about anything other than doing what
works best for Chapter 069. It
was decided to address this in our next bulletin. Jim Quinn, Jorge Arinez and
Jason Viers said they would be able to help out. Our
next meeting will be at OCC on November 11,2009 A motion adjourned the meeting from Gary Shepperd, seconded by Stacy Behrens at 8:20pm. Respectfully
submitted, Alan
Wolfe
