Minutes from the 2014 annual meeting

More than 20 members of the branch registered for the AAUW NC annual meeting and almost all of them attended the 8:15 am annual meeting of the branch that preceded the state meeting. We also welcomed three new dual members to the branch during the weekend — including Kathryn Braeman, the representative from the AAUW board who flew in for the state meeting.

Be sure to read the branch annual report that covers the highlights of the past year, and here are the minutes from the meeting.

[Note: On June 4, a new version of the minutes were posted that removed the track changes indications in a paragraph about Elon University.]

Board Action, March 2014

After discussion at the previous meeting, three documents were sent to the branch action list for review and comment:

  • Branch bylaws with mandatory changes (Feb. 25)
    Information on mandatory changes can be found at www.aauw.org. The board was asked to agree that the changes were mandatory or editorial, and so could be submitted to AAUW without a vote of the branch.
  • Branch policies with changes including formalizing the discount policy for financial hardship (Mar. 2)
    The substantive changes here were discussed on the last board conference call.
  • Branch budget for 2013-2014 (Mar. 9)
    This will guide branch spending until June 30, 2014. It is our intention to produce a 2014-2015 budget much earlier.

There were no additional issues raised about the documents, and so approval of all three was put to a vote of the branch board. Four of the seven board members voted to approve these documents.

Details of the vote are in the AAUW NC SurveyMonkey account.

Minutes of May board meeting

The Tar Heel branch 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 boards met in a joint session on Monday, May 10 at the home of Mary Fran Schickedantz in Greensboro. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss goals for the branch.

Goals set for the next year include:

  • Double membership from 56 to 112 (recruiting resources)
  • Raise $1000 in contributions to AAUW Funds from branch members. [1/1/2009 – 12/31/2009 total was $476. See AAUW NC report.]
  • Have five members attending and reporting on five different Women’s Agenda Assemblies (see www.ncwu.org)
  • Have at least 10 members attending the 2011 Women’s Advocacy Day  (see www.ncwu.org)
  • Recruit at least one member from each community-based branch in NC (reasons why they might join)
  • Set up a closed Facebook group to add to the  number of ways members can connect with each other. [Reminder: You can get the branch roster at http://www.aauw.org’s “Member Services Database.” Find step-by-step login information at www.aauw.org.]

Meeting these goals will take energy and creativity from members who aren’t on the board. If you’d like to be part of a new e-mail list, “action@tarheel.aauwnc.org”, please contact Doris.
