COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Membership: email received from Cathy DeLuca and forwarded to BOD

Hi you all..attached is the Membership Committee Report and proposed new Membership Application.  Please read the Committee Report and send comments when you have them.  We need to have this completed for Donna prior to the next BOD meeting..thanks.

I am sending the app again just so that this all stays together..also, in case anyone asks, my thought would be that we would use the same sponsorship forms as we have done in the past.  I have not updated nor have I attached any sponsorship forms to this.

USNMC MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT

UPDATE

The Membership Committee has completed the mailing of the BOD-approved letter updating the membership status from Associate Member to Full Member whereby we have ‘grandfathered’ the Associates into the USNMC.  This approved letter was mailed via U.S. Postal Service to thirty-four (34) Associate Members who have been with the USNMC for a year or more.  This mailing was completed on August 14, 2009.

In addition, the Membership Committee has revamped the Membership Application and is submitting same to the BOD for review and comment.  This is attached for your perusal.

PROPOSAL

At the present time, there currently remain less than ten (10) individuals who will be in the USNMC for a year either very shortly or by the very latest, June, 2010.  Since these individuals were Associates when the new By-Laws took effect, the Membership Committee, in the spirit of camaraderie, suggests that these less than ten (10) individuals be grandfathered in as well.  Please note that since Associate Status was eradicated upon the adoption of the new By-Laws, it would seem logical that we update the status of these less than ten (10) individuals to Full Member.  If accepted and approved by the BOD, this process would commence on the approximate one-year anniversary date with the USNMC and we would be vigilant on notifying these individuals via letter.

Discussion ensued concerning the amount of the International Subscriptions- it was noted that the amount should be corrected to $60.00.  Donna Welty requested that a list of the names of the ten members. Heather Giallella seconded. Vote - all ayes.  Donna Welty reminded the BOD that they have 24/7 access to the entire membership list using google documents on a read only basis. A vote will be taken on the current ten “associate members” at the next board meeting scheduled in October.
