Constitution and By Laws: Have been revised, the last
revision was 1996. The revised
C and B’s were presented to the Chapter for reading and comments. The revisions were meeting dates, every other month and dues, now $40.00 per year. Some adjusts were made, such as all correspondence to Chapter Members will be via email not mail. We will present the C and B’s again at the next chapter meeting for approval.

Professional Growth Funds: The funds have not been released
yet, Karen is following up with Raquel on the final amount. Once funds are
approved Karen will email the chapter. We are considering raising the
disbursement amount for the membership to $200.00 per reimbursement period only
if the funds are available to do so. Remember, these funds are on a first come,
first served basis.
Elections: We will be holding elections in
October and November. Any qualified
members interested in any Board position should notify the
Board and attend the October Chapter meeting. All of the officer’s terms are up
in December.
Office Communications: The point was mentioned that many
employees miss the hallway meetings and information that is passed on. Email notification of meetings was mentioned
in a possible way to inform employees of meetings so more can attend or follow
up on what was discussed. This may be brought up to Mary Jane’s Office in the
future. However, this is not a union type matter but rather Mary Jane’s
options. Anyone is welcome to communicate their interest in these meetings
directly to her office.
Good of the Order: Alex thanked Karen for her
Presidency and work on behalf of the CSEA Chapter #327. Erika thanked the Board for all the work
updating the Constitution and By Laws.
Karen appreciated Erika for attending all the Chapter Meetings.
Adjournment was at 3:25 pm
