Executive Board Minutes March 6 2008

A conference call occurred on Thursday March 6.  The following Board members were present on the call:

Nicki Danner

Scott Tillman

Karen Allen

Sandra Gilstad

Tonia Rogers

Sheila Blevins

 

Scott began by advising what had occurred on the monthly APCO board conference call.  The chapter presidents discussed what was working in their chapters and what is not working.  Northern California advised they are holding monthly meetings with speakers and training. Another chapter advised they have invited the sheriff's and Chief's organization to participate in their training and trade shows. 

 

There was discussion on what the Board was going to recommend as far as filling Erika Wilson's position as well as the transition of the Boards toward a consolidated entity.  Liz was unable to attend the conference call, so the discussion and confirmation from her as to her ability to stay on the board through the transition was placed on hold.  The other members of the Board decided that the issue would have to be discussed and voted on by the membership at the next General meeting. 

 

Sheila told the Board that Barbara Jaeger had advised that NENA now has a Bylaw template.  Scott advised that he believed that APCO was working towards a template as well. 

 

Sheila advised that Board of the discussions that had been shared with her from the Executive council regarding the assignment of the Western Regional meetings.  There is an intense discussion among the Executive council regarding the award of the western regional meetings.  The discussion will continue at the New Mexico Western Regional, but it is highly discussed that the Western Regional be awarded on a rotational basis.  Sheila advised the Board there is a possibility that we may not get the 2012 meeting, but that Arizona would be placed in a rotation for future assignment. 

 

Karen briefed the Board on the April 15th Crystal Darkenss operation that will occur in the Phoenix area.  Further information can be found on the website Crystaldarkness.com.

 

A reminder was made of the General Meeting in Marana on March 21st with an RSVP to Sheila for Lunch.

 

The meeting was adjourned.
