A sign-in list was circulated, but, unfortunately, I do not seem to have it. It doesn’t seem to have been returned to me, so I don’t have attendee info.

The meeting was called to order at 12:00 PM.

REPORTS:

PRESIDENT’S REPORT:

 DARE: Had a video from DARE representatives, Tim McDannold and Jerry Iosa, who is taking this activity over for DARE. The video showed a DARE awards ceremony/conference.
 BoD/Committee Staff: We need new support staff now that Sarah has left Harris – this is being worked and Allison from Harris will support the NDIA GLAC Bod.
 Bob Hope Awardee Nominations: John, Gen Dalton, and Wayne Kauffman have been working this and are thinking of Burt Rutan or Gen Thomas Moorman (Ret). They will pursue this activity.
 WCD 2006 Speaker: John, Gen Dalton, and Wayne Kauffman have been working this and are thinking of going to CINCs, since it is virtually impossible to get a commitment from USAF HQ or DoD senior folks. Talked a little about Gen Abuzaid (?Sp). Gen Dalton will make some calls. Back up might be Northern Command commander.
 Industry Days Disbursement:
o Disbursements to the other associations for this year’s Industry day have been made
 Spence Bauer gave us info on the 223 October – El Segundo – “A Night to Celebrate the Heroes amongst us”. Celebration/event and encouraged us to attend and let others in our companies know about this.
 James Gates raised the issue - as a possible project - of what is SMC going to do about moving the rock and plaque from the current Area A mall to the new facilities area. He thought – and the BoD agreed – that this might be a special project that we could do to support the Base.
o Dave Murphy is trying to schedule a meeting with Gen Hamel to discuss this and other things regarding NDIA support to the Base.

SECRETARY’S REPORT:
The Secretary was absent, but the Secretary’s report/Minutes of the last meeting were accepted.

TREASURER’S REPORT:
Dan Burkett was absent, but he sent his report which we went over. No surprises – we have collected most of the outstanding WCD 2005 money. We have earmarked $7K A/P from Fuller. Our Net worth is approximately $101K. Action: John Burkhart to pursue with Dan Burkett. Dan Foley reported that there may be some untimely data in the Treasurer’s Report, since Honeywell has paid.

DISBURSEMENT COMMITTEE:

 No report. We voted to authorize $15K to the Officers’ Spouses Club. Contact is Mary Ellen Hargis (?Sp). This was moved by R. Skloss, seconded by L. Taylor and approved by the BoD. Note: Dan Foley has volunteered to join the Disbursements Committee. COMMITTEE REPORTS

MEMBERSHIP:
Len Jacobsen reported that we have 1701 members in our chapter this quarter which is more than last quarter, according to the report received from headquarters.

WCD (West Coast Dinner) – on track.

 Brian will put out a list of candidates for the WCD Speaker and the Bob Hope Awardee next week, so that folks can comment or come up with other candidates.
 He got with Dan Burkett and went over everything that was paid for last year, which gave him a good idea of everything that the WCD committee needs to address.
 In Sept, he will start monthly WCD meetings, which will be held at BAH offices to keep costs down.
o Action: Add to next Agenda, a debriefing on the 2005 WCD Audit results with a written report.

Executive Breakfasts – John Burkhart would like to have at least one of these per year, in addition to the one associated with the WCD – or have another event that everyone can participate in that brings the community together.

Golf: Lost $2800 on the Golf Day, but we will keep $2200 and donate $15K. Last year we donated 12K from this effort. Maybe we want to reconsider this, since there are so many now. We might want to combine with AFA or other associations to have one big Golf event that really gets the senior SMC leadership out so that “our” senior leaders have a good event.

Communications: Linda Taylor reported that Gen McCasland will be the new SMC CV and he will be arriving to take over by the first week of October (Gen Frostman is currently the acting CV).

 Gen Hamel has set up 3 WGs to address: SMC Organization (Wing, Group, Squadron among other things); SMC Processes; and SMC Resources. These are 3 to 6 months charters and are being chaired by Gen Frostman, Mr. Maikisch, and Ms McAlpine, respectively.
 NDIA GLAC Website: Walter Meares, although no longer a member of the BoD has agreed to continue to work on this committee and interface with Aviel, our vendor, supporting me.
