Attendance is down in their area and they would welcome our appearance in St Louis area. They currently have a new president and Nancy is looking at retiring in next 6-8 months.  Amy will reach out to new president.

 

  • Strategic Plan
    • What is California doing on their social media?
    • Amy to reach out to new president of St Louis area
    • Connection with Graceland University

New Business

    • Encouraging participants to go to World Heart Game.  Also encouraged advertising this at local conferences.  Discussed possibility of having our basket raffle funds go to World Heart Game.

 

    • Higher Logic—AACVPR product to help with individual websites—there are several tiers to choose from

 

    • Karen Lui was disappointed in way memo rolled out on upcoming audits.  Wording was not proper and she is working on changing this.

 

    • Legal issues—if organization is not incorporated, they are not protected legally at its fullest.  We need to verify that MOKS is listed as incorporated.

 

 

  • Copyright laws—if presenter uses any information that could be copyrighted and it is published on website, there could be issues. Can we protect ourselves by putting note in speaker agreement?

 

 

      • Facebook / Social Media—it is fine to post information on page from other sites because they attribute back to creator.
