Spring Board Meeting 2013 Pensacola Beach, FL

I regret that I can not be at the Spring Board meeting this year. I had surgery a couple weeks ago and do not feel ready to travel so far just yet. I am doing fine and hope the meeting is productive. I have posted my Nominations Committee report on the link for such. Please think of those you feel that will be willing to serve to consider to stand for election this fall.

Respectfully Submitted, Julie A. Holmes Past President, MSERA


 * 2015 Fall Board Meeting**


 * 2015 Spring Board Meeting - Recap of 2014**

2014

2014 Fall Past-President Report:
Received nominations (volunteers) for Vice-President, Secretary, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Will put the Florida vote to the membership early and then will take nominations from the floor for any state but especially Florida, Alabama and Louisiana.

I did want to see how the state reps used their membership databases.


 * 2014 Spring Past-President Report: **


 * Discussion of accepted motions and processes to get them in place: **


 * 1) Did state reps get their databases? We need them to send out reminders and get state feedback before the next meeting. **
 * 2) I sent the publication committee the agreement with Tony et al. I sent what I believe was the latest version to president Campbell but just making sure. **
 * 3) constitutional amendment to allow president to appoint editorial boards for publication...need to wordsmith this for the fall meeting...is there a way to get those on the PowerPoint for that presentation at the pre-conference board meeting. **


 * Do we still need to work on that operations manual by following the implementation of motions. Do they go from board to committee and then the committee can immediately implement or does the process need to be included in the motion? **


 * Work: **
 * I need volunteers for the nominations committee. (Larry Daniels added) **
