CALL TO ORDER
A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association was duly called on Wednesday, March 24, at 9 am. Chief Executive Officer Horace Green called the meeting to order.
GOVERNANCE
The Board selected officers for the remainder of the year. They are:
Craig Hoffman, President
Terry McAteer, Vice President
Joel Wiener, Secretary/Treasurer
FINANCIAL
The Treasurer gave a report on the financial status of the organization. This included difficulties associated with the transfer of funds held previously in another bank account, and a process of communication with the Executive Offices of Chase, which ended in the establishment of a new account.
The Treasurer reported that the bank account held the sum of $524.99.
ONGOING PROJECTS
The Board discussed the progress of the effort to build a Scoutcraft Building at Camp Royaneh in honor of Troop 351 Scoutmaster Larry Teshara. President Hoffman reported that he had received a progress report from the point person for the project, Joe Barton of the Golden Gate Area Council, BSA.
He was informed that the project was near completion, but that additional funds were needed to pour a foundation pad that would protect the building against heavy rains and erosion. The Board discussed the possibility of contributing to that fund from the Association account. That idea was tabled for future discussion. (It was later decided via email communications to make an appeal to the Association members for contributions to this element of the project.)
Mr. Barton also informed the President that it was likely that a dedication ceremony could be held at Royaneh this summer, and that that date would be established at some point in the next few months. The Board discussed possible scenarios for maximizing attendance of Association members, along with the Teshara family, at that event.
FUTURE EVENTS
The Board discussed future Association reunions. It was agreed that we would discuss a potential reunion date once it was clear that group events were both sanctioned by appropriate government agencies and appealing to the Association members.
ADJOURNMENT
The Board agreed to meet next on June 30 at 9 am. CEO Green adjourned the meeting.
