Board of directors contract

-Read over and sign. Very serious. You are allowed to miss one conference call or face-to-face meeting. Here to the national convention it is especially important to be present

-Conference calls last about 2 hours

-If you miss 2 calls/meetings, Tracy has to generate a letter to you making you aware you have missed 2 meetings. If it continues you will be asked to step down (this has never happened)

-If you aren’t going to be on a call PLEASE notify Tracy 24 hours in advance- don’t wait until after the meeting

-You have a responsibility both to the board and to the students of Iowa

-Last year we had a conference call in early December to update the board on Midyear convention. Let’s look at doing that again.

-Send school and work schedules to Willie so we can find a commonly good time for a conference call

Midyear conference

-Historically has been the President and Treasurer who attend, would also be beneficial for the VP to attend the midyear convention

-Gordon moves to include VP in attendance at midyear convention. Second

-Use the IANS gmail address on the business cards
