Participants: <\/strong>Ingrid Ulbrich, Patrick Barlow, <\/strong>Matt Watts,Peter Smith, Joyce Adams, Tris Utschig, Joann Horton, Steve Spicklemire, Chaya Jain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agenda:<\/strong> No changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April Board meeting notes including Matt Watt\u2019s edits approved as amended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next newsletter is coming out in May. As the one before June conference, it will have information and Board\u2019s updates about the outreach. Any registration and outreach-related questions should be addressed to Patrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At June\u2019s Academy meeting, Patrick will become President along with newly elected other officers.  Ingrid\u2019s focus will be to handover to Patrick until then — with thanks to everyone\u2019s contributions under her presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingrid inquired whether any suggestions to strengthen today\u2019s process including those for the incoming officials. Lacking any volunteer, a collective assessment at the end of today\u2019s meeting will be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Co-sponsorship with VSU:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key positive points include 24 participants with STAR project to pay for attendees and a good closure for the final year of grant; no additional cost; strengthening of relationship with VSU, and the Academy having an institutional sponsorship.  Currently, no other sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key modification will be the joint sponsorship on Academy\u2019s conference webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingrid shared that per policy, today\u2019s discussion of conference as a joint venture is subject to vote at the next month\u2019s meeting.  However, given the short duration, she proposed skipping the wait to make a decision at today\u2019s meeting. The proposal was seconded and approved unanimously, followed by discussion of the joint venture, also approved unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approval will require marketing committee\u2019s updates as appropriate.  Patrick will inform VSU\u2019s Leslie Whiteman of the Board\u2019s decision of partnership, among other specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-conference Workshop:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not within the Academy\u2019s parameter, but the Academy has been invited to participate if the pre-workshop is offered. Discussion regarding charge amount\/discounts, payment set-up, revenue sharing with the Academy, were noted and Patrick will follow up with PC and share as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current list has 34 total conference participants (23 from VSU), details of payment is in progress.  Current membership list is on Google Drive for members\u2019 outreach for recruitment of additional participants. Several members of the Academy need to register still.  Besides VSU, Hines (Joyce) and SUNY members (Steve S.) have recruited from their institutions. Peter Smith volunteer to recruit but need additional volunteers for outreach and recruitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
