EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 17, 2007
VPA OFFICE
10:00 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 at 12:10 p.m.
