EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL

A.M.
PRESENT:
Joseph Bowen, Lynn Coale, David Cobb, Peter Evans, Bob Johnson,
Dick Kraemer, Judi Maynard, June Sargent, Debi Price, Laurie Singer,
Madeline Young.
1. Michael Marks
was present for discussion on by-laws changes. There was little
discussion about the changes in the by-laws; however, Michael did
talk about the history of the organization. The changes reflect
the current direction of the organization. He stated that the policies
also need to be re-written. He and Bob Johnson will work on them
this summer. Unanimous approval to move the by-law changes forward
to the Annual Meeting.
2. Bob Stevens
reviewed the talking points that were outlined in his budget report
to the Executive Council. This budget should be easier to understand
and again better reflects the actual budget process within the VPA.
(Note: Marie’s replacement was approved as a full year position
starting in July, ’07.) Unanimous approval of the 07-08 budget
proposal.
3. Candidates
for the two open Executive Council positions were considered and
after a very positive discussion, Nancy Erickson, Proctor Elementary,
and Tim Crowley, Barre Town were selected. It was decided to request
applications for the retired principal position should the membership
approve the by-laws. The process and timing of this selection were
discussed.
4. Peter Evans
stated that Madeline Young was the only name that he received for
the President-Elect position. Madeline was selected unanimously.
5. Bob Stevens
reviewed the potential agenda for our next meeting on May 2nd:
a. retired principal applications;
b. summer retreat plans
c. slate of officers
d. review Executive Director’s Annual Report.
Meeting adjourned
