Monthly Board Meeting
15 January 2015
Meeting called to order at 5:07 PM by Dianne Brotherson.
Members Present:
Tom Sauer, Carol Van Waardhuizen, Dianne Brotherson, Judy Jones, Lana Pavlik, Judy Kemp.
Approval of Minutes:
Bill Diesslin misplaced the notes from the 20 November, 2014 meeting so there were no minutes to approve. The 8 December, 2014 meeting was not recorded as it was simply a meeting to
prepare the holiday card for mailing.
Treasurer Report:
Jen Malone reported a balance of $7,251.43. Treasurer’s report was approved by the Board.
Old Business:
The holiday card was briefly discussed. Bill indicated that he had not received any emails from individuals interested in participating in the June delegation to Koshu.
The Board has received one resume from an individual interested in the AET position in Koshu. This person is already in Japan so it is difficult for us to conduct an interview. It was
suggested that perhaps a discussion via Skype could be conducted. It was also suggested to obtain a letter of application and a list of references.
There was some discussion about planning for the June delegation to Koshu. It was decided to have a meeting in the Library immediately after the board meeting on 19 February, 2015.
Bill agreed to reserve a room so we could hold the board meeting immediately followed by the delegation meeting.
New Business:
Dinanne indicated that Koshu had sent an email asking about the June delegation. The Board agreed that at this time all we could do in response is let them know about the February planning
meeting. Dianne also asked if there was any interest in participating in World Friendship Day.
Motion to adjourn by Tom Sauer. Meeting adjourned by Dianne Brotherson at 6:05 PM
