Carrie Westhoelter is finishing the ICRID brochure. She will send it via email attachment to the board for approval this week. We would like to have them printed and ready to take to Chicago.
Susan Reppart-Dorando has replaced the person working as the Silent Auction Co-Chair (for Chicago) with Dave Calvert. The previous co-chair has stepped down.
Mary Riccius sent Randy Nicolai an application for Kinko’s corporate cards. Randy Nicolai is waiting for a state certification showing tax-exempt status to process that application. Discussion regarding who on board will receive the cards. It was decided to ask Kinko’s if names could be added/deleted on application when board members change.
Discussion of topic at recent Region III President’s meeting: How are we to proactively welcome NAD members into RID on all levels? (Question from Bruce King) Cheryl Moose would like the various boards to brainstorm possible ideas for transition of these new members. Ideas will be presented and discussed at the RID conference in Chicago.
One idea is to offer 10% discount on Annual Conference registration for NAD members who join ICRID. Will discuss more at a later date.
Meeting adjourned at 7:00pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Antonette Needham, Secretary
