Minutes for September 10, 2014
Connie McNeill presented the Financial Report and informed the Board that the Finance Committee will bring recommendations regarding Association finances to the October meeting. Ex-Officio reports included the Alumni Association, the Emeritus College, University Club, and the office of Public Affairs. Events and Committee reports included the Video History Project and upcoming luncheons and special events. A motion passed to “retire” Retirees Day and continue the seminars in other contexts. The Board discussed the handling of excess funds from travel events and determined that the current policy would be followed: surplus funds will not be earmarked, but any shortfalls in travel activities will be covered from general funds. The annual Golf Tournament is being discontinued as participation has declined significantly. Health Insurance benefits and rates will remain the same in the coming year. Association membership has declined 15% this year, but participation in activities remains strong. Hal White offered insights into Board responsibilities and Jo Madonna indicated that this topic will be combined with the Survey discussion at the next meeting.
