Meeting Minutes
1.0Minutes from the most recent executive meeting on September 10, 2007 and dinner meeting minutes from June 28, 2007 were reviewed.
2.0Executive reports deferred due to time constraints.
3.0Agenda by Elaine, no additions.
3.1Executive meetings- discussion on the executive meeting just prior to the dinner meeting instead of at a separate time due to work scheduling and work/life issues, new C&B has made provisions for this, one exception would be the executive planning meeting which takes place after the AGM with the new executive
3.2Spring Conference- call for volunteers for planning and organizing committee will need to go out in the next newsletter, would be better to have a list of actual things that need to be done to be able to delegate to volunteers.
3.3“On the Road” dinner meetings- tonight was a really good turnout despite supper breaks and Code Blue during the presentation, discussion felt that taking the meeting to each site has increased visibility for the Chapter, sponsorship has also saved the Chapter some financial expenditure for the food and beverages, next “On the Road” meeting will be in early December at RGH.
4.0New business- Pam questioned why the CACCN wasn’t recognized by CARNA as a Specialty Practice Group. Lois indicated that she had contacted CARNA in August 2006 for paperwork describing the process that CACCN Calgary Chapter would need to fulfill to have the CACCN recognized by CARNA. Pam indicated that in years past, CACCN was recognized. Lois will look into what happened to the recognition and email present members with the CARNA paperwork in her possession.
5.0Meeting adjourned at 1820
