APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Bradley moved to approve the agenda as written, Nichelle seconded.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Richard moved to approve the minutes, Fannie seconded.
VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT: committee met on the phone. Pushing to have more money for the affiliates. Day of service cancelled because library “was not ready for us.” Childcare centers also not ready. Still want to do it for annual conference in future. $5000 Baker and Taylor; $2000 Ingram to sponsor the party on Sunday night.
PRESIDENTS REPORT: Attended IFLA as representative of BCALA. Did global visioning for the strategic plan (North American workshop). Invited to attend Special Library Association conference. Will share more information in final report.
TREASURERS REPORT: Not here because of her new position as president-elect of ALA. Denyvetta shared a paper copy of the report. Highlighted a few things that Wanda wanted to be shared. Included a column for actual budget. Calling your attention to online ads: $67,609.49--doing quite well. Once we have the website it will be
even better. In essence the ads paid for web upgrade. Reflected next fiscal year because of the cycle, might warrant greater discussion. Jos says we need to ask Wanda about her totals to the right; many are represented like negatives. Kelvin had questions about the fundraising committee; did they actually bring that in or send that in? Kelvin is not comfortable voting on it until the actual budget is accurate and clear. Jos was concerned about the organizational consultant number--looks like it is overspent. It is actually accurate because the past consultant did not submit
her receipts in a timely manner. Wanda said she is still not sure what goes where so that is why the budget looks not correct. She is working with Stanton to better understand the budgeting process. Wanda suggested we need to figure out a way to capture all the knowledge Stanton has about the budgeting process for BCALA; we need to have something in writing. Jos moves to table the report until corrections are made, Fay seconded.
