And my mood was so good...

Lunch was great! My mood upbeat.

Then I returned to the meeting room and we were back to #302! 

We were tortured with a request to rescind and then a request by the same guy to take back his request to rescind so he could refer it back to committee. The adult skating committee has discussed the topic ad nauseum and there was no need to send it back to committee.

Next up was the Administrative/Legal group (Winston Burbank, group coordinator). Winston, as well as all other coordinators and chairs, praised the staff at headquarters. It is praise well deserved as the staff are wonderful to work with!

Time for the report from Terri Levine on the 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. And she brought a powerpoint! Oh joy!  We heard about the goals for five strategic area - Marketing & Communications, Leadership Development, Revenue Framework, Membership and Athlete Development. There are no tactical plans yet, but we have goals. The board approved the plan and now it is on to implementation.

And no items isolated in Administrative/Legal RFAs.

We had one item isolated by Dorothy in the board's new business regarding the rules for the new Introductory Membership category. Since we had amended the bylaw regarding the introductory membership, Dorothy wanted to make sure we had the language in the rule was not conflicting with the bylaw. Easy and done.

Time for new business!  Be back with that info
