PRESIDENT’S REMARKS:

The Spirit of Youth presentation scheduled for the June meeting is postponed because the rep was unable to attend the June meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Rolling Hills Country Club on July 7. James Dalton will host the meeting.
Gen James farewell event will be held in July. It will be a less formal event – perhaps a picnic.

SECRETARY’S REPORT:
Jeanne Innis-Olson distributed the Board of Directors Roster and the Minutes from the May meeting. The minutes were reviewed and approved.

TREASURER’S REPORT:
Dan Burkett was unable to prepare the Treasurer’s report in advance of the June meeting. Dan announced that the balance is high, ~$135K without additional deposits such as the $9K check received from Lockheed Martin for WCD. Dan will compile and distribute a quantitative report.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Disbursements:
Lorne Caddick presented the Disbursements Committee Report. Lorne requested approval to give $2000 to ‘Treat Any Soldier’ Care Packages. Steve Scott (Harris) moved and the Board approved that the Board give authority to the Disbursements Committee until the July Board meeting to spend up to the approved $30K disbursements budget without further board review and approval.

Membership:
Len Jacobson reported that there are 1,611 members in our chapter. There are 56 corporate members, with 561 corporate individuals.

West Cast Dinner:
Bryan Adams reported that the WCD committee kick-off meeting was held on 1 June. Jan Thomis stepped down as head of operations. Beverly Brumley agreed to run operations. Ashley Brown will assist. The WCD will be 17 Feb at the Beverly Hilton with the Thursday PM Board reception and the Friday AM Executive Breakfast. Bryan is looking for the appropriate person to lead correspondence for the WCD. ARINC is looking for someone to fill this position. Don T. feels that this individual needs to be someone with staff. This is a key position with a considerable amount of effort involved. Don T. suggested the formation of an Industry protocol position. The WCD committee needs input for theme, award recipient, speaker, etc. Jim Dalton pointed out that consolidation in the industry makes finding an appropriate speaker and award recipient difficult. We need to think out-of-the-box.

Public Affairs & SMC Interactive:
Linda Taylor reported on TASS and FASS follow-on contract actions. Linda will send out a Systems Acquisition briefing.

Golf :
There are currently 23 four-somes, 3 singles, and 16 T-sponsors. Bob Smith expects total revenue of ~$11,400. Based on current projections, profit is expected to be ~$700. Bob asked the questions of whether or not we are meeting expectations. The participation of Colonels and lower AF participation doesn’t draw senior industry leaders.

The next meeting will be the Annual Meeting, July 7 at Rolling Hills Country Club.
