COMMITTEE REPORTS

 

The President's Report and all Committee Reports were deferred to the Annual Meeting, Saturday night, June

24, 2006.

 

Education - Fran Shelton, Pinky Derieux, Chair

 

Newsletter - Florace Arnold, Editor

 

Membership - Mary Ann Kincaid,  Chair

 

Communication/Unit Support - Frank Reilly, Chair

 

Finance Committee -  Bill Scott recommended that the standing rules be changed to reflect change in dues amounts available for expenditure in a fiscal year.  This will create restricted funds to reflect dues paid in advance. Motion made and carried that standing rules be changed to reflect the creation of restricted funds in the amount equal to dues paid in advance.  Money for future years' dues won't be spent until that year.  

 

A new item will be added to the Standing Rules under Officer Guidelines and Treasurer to read: 

        5. Will maintain an accounting of dues paid in advance, restricting their use until the fiscal year for which they were paid.

 

 

Unit Reports

The Unit reps attending were asked to send their reports to the secretary.  They will be posted at www.VMGA.net and printed in the next newsletter.

 

Extension Liaison - Dave Close, MG Coordinator

Dave deferred his report to the annual meeting on Saturday night.

 

Unfinished Business

None.

 

New Business

Mary Ann Kincaid has membership reports available for each unit that lists current paid members and those members who have not renewed.  Contact these people in your unit and encourage them to renew.  Lists also provide results of interest survey for each of the new or renewed members which could be of benefit to leadership in the unit.
