| Financial
Report |
Budget projected
deficit of $1500 is due to lack of re-ups from recent
nursing student and community inductees. Keeping inductees
active and preserving membership is a problem. KR has
been doing an excellent job but it might be too much for
one person. It was suggested that a new board position
be created to fill this gap. It was also suggested that
the Board do a phone drive, the week before each major
event, to encourage attendance of the membership. |
|
| Newsletter |
Regarding
the latest newsletter, many people did not receive the
newsletter in time to make reservations for dinner.
There was a glitch that happened in following mailing
instructions. It was suggested that a mailing committee
be set up w/ a specific schedule, so tasks are not mixed,
ie Board Mtg and mailing. The inadequate number of newsletters
was a printing error.
Newsletter
fees increased this year. It was suggested that we consider
cutting the newsletter list to include only people who
are in the immediate area and can be active in events.
Becky is
more than willing to type and format the newsletter.
Feb newsletter should advertise the spring dinner mtg
and induction ceremony and reminder about awards. Also
another listing of the Board Members, Spring Dinner
speaker Jeanette Koshar on Domestic Violence
|
Next newsletter
for early Feb., articles and information to KW by middle
Jan. |

| Membership |
Carole
started a discussion about SSU students who were not
invited to join STT. She stated that the exclusion of
certain students caused hurt feelings. Oversights were
made last semester. Criteria for induction should be
posted so that students realize that only the top third
of the class is invited to join STT. Oversights can
be avoided by reminding Faculty in Dec to review their
junior and senior rosters to begin to choose candidates
for induction.
