Board Meeting Summary
Location: Residence of Mike Deitschmann
Date: October 11, 2011
Ed Galvavy has volunteered to participate in the college fair scheduled for October 15 2011 from 9am until 1pm.
A motion passed unanimously for the chapter to pursue an update of the bylaws to allow electronic voting by the chapter membership on new officers and board members. This update is needed because of the change of operations to a calendar year basis and the fact that current bylaws call for the election to be held at the spring banquet. Also discussed were the slate of officer nominees for 2012 and the search for new board members.
The chapter’s annual food drive will take place at the MTSU game viewing party on November 5.
