Current Endeavors

• Look into mailbox alternatives and solutions

Update: Discussed issue with President’s Council. Most of recommendations SCRID has discussed previously. No ‘new’ or ‘novel’ ideas were uncovered.  I recommend keeping the current address for tax and business purposes AND creating a ‘new’ policy that any committee, workshop or other event utilize the chair or board member’s personal (or PO Box office) address for the sake of time and safety of payment. For example: Lou Fant Banquet chair will use their home address (or personal PO Box) for all business for the event including registrations, donations, and correspondence. Establishing this policy will resolve the concerns regarding items going missing as well as concerns with doing address changes with Government and business interests. Membership applications will still be addressed with the current PO Box. If any officer or chair would prefer to NOT utilize their own personal address, they can opt to use the SCRID PO address, but should do so knowing that this will impact the timeline of their event since items are only intermittently shipped from the PO Box. Additionally if officers or chairs do not want to receive payments to their personal address they should either encourage payment via the website or ask the President or the Treasurer for alternative addresses to send payment to.

• Recruitment of individuals for various committees (on going)
• Updating the policies and procedures manual

Update: Several portions of the PPM have been added to the SCRID Wiki. More will be added over the next month. The Wiki PPM will be a living document that can be added to and edited over time therefore no ‘end date’ will be established.

• Begin planning for Bylaws review during the summer

Update: No review has been planed as of yet. This should be discussed.

Announcements

• RID will be discussing (possibly deciding if) after this year there will be no more Regional conferences. Update: RID has decided to continue with Regional Conferences WITH National support by way of representatives that will be involved with planning
• Dates have been posted for up-coming Board meetings. Please visit the website to find these dates. The August 21^st meeting will now be a closed Executive Board meeting.
