President, Dale Merritt, called conference call meeting to order at 7:09pm CDT
Present: Dale Merritt, Larry Kimble, Julie Knutson, Stu Wange, Brice Romero, Steve Watkins, Mike Bachkosky,
Absent: Joe Bubulka, Wendell Wright
Treasurer Report
$19,711.61 in bank. Larry also reported that the treasurer is reasonable up to date with the finances from the fall hunt tests, most of which were very profitable. The year has been a very good one in contrast to previous years; expenses kept to a minimum and entries at increasing levels.
MOTION that the Board accepts the Treasurer’s report. Seconded and passed.
Secretary Report
The new assistant to the Secretarial position has been doing a banner job in terms of manipulating data, inputting test results and getting the data for the organization in good order for long term maintenance. She has also been working on putting the dog information on the website. This is going to be a challenging job because of the lack of continuity that has existed in different years with different people amassing the data. With one person responsible for gathering and maintaining data regardless of elected officers, the continuity and resulting accuracy will become the norm, once the old issues are resolved. It is also going to take the assistance of the membership to correct incorrect information on the database, and to add missing data. A form has been made available to add the necessary information and get it to Sandy for addition to the database.
Certificates will be issued as all the judges books are received by the secretary. They should all be out within the month of November.
The secretary will create a job description for the altered position of APLA Secretary and for the position now handling the membership data and the test data. This will be reviewed by the board and made available by the time the new secretary takes office. Part of the hopes with the split duties is that more automation on the website will be accomplished over the next year.
MOTION made that the Board accepts the Secretary report. Seconded and passed.
NEW BUSINESS
The nominations for the 2 Director positions on the board and the 3 Officer vacancies have been received. The ballots will be mailed within the next week. Ballots must be received by December 7, 2007; will be counted on December 8, 2007 and announced to the membership on the website on December 15, 2007. The nominations for board positions were reviewed by the current board and approved.
Health issues for retrievers in general were discussed at length and the board decided to provide a pull down menu addition to the website with information on various health issues most affecting retrievers and those organizations through which more information could be gathered. It is a large topic and it was felt that providing places to get in depth information would be most helpful to members wishing to know more.
Motion made to have the pull down menu added to the website. Seconded and passed.
Next Meeting
December 11, 2007 7 pm CDT
Meeting adjourned at 8:52 pm CST.
Respectfully submitted,
Julie Knutson
Secretary
