PRESIDENT’S REMARKS::
Steve Scott discussed the transitional aspects of the Board over the past two years. We have had more changes in Board members in the past 12 months than in the previous five years. We now have eight new members. There are 40 seats with 35 filled. We want to fill the remaining seats with active, participative members. There has been a ‘financial shift’; there has been a squeeze in industry. Margins are different than they were. Our chapter has a good financial reserve. But, as we are making smaller profits, we need to be selective and careful in our philanthropic giving. We had a good WCD this year. But we had new management at the hotel, contributing to lower margins. We made approximately $10K profit. We are looking at venue options for the 2007 WCD, but it looks like the 2007 event will be similar to the 2006 event. The 2006 Executive breakfast accompanying the WCD went well as did the 2006 golf tournament, which made money this year. :
The past year was marked with a transition of officers as well. Our President John Burkhart moved and resigned his position. Steve thanked Wayne Kauffman for assuming the role of Vice President. He thanked the committee chairs and officers. :
Howard Appleman suggested combining our WCD with other association events. Wayne reminded the board that the 2006 WCD was similar in attendance and profit to the dinners of 2002 and before. The 2003 through 2005 dinners exceeded the norm. A ‘collaboration committee’ was suggested to investigate how combining functions might work. It was suggested that there be more “Rushmore” meetings in the coming year. :
