Dudley Cass made a motion to elect John Reynolds as President and Jack
Timmons as Secretary/Treasurer. They were elected by acclamation.
4. Other Business.
Jack Timmons noted that he has no authority under the new organization
to expend funds. We have reunion bills to be paid and the normal business
of the organization to be funded and he needs authority to expend funds.
Also Jill Connery Ship’s Store Operator needs the authority to expend
funds in the normal order of business. Jack Timmons said he plans to have
a budget proposal by the next meeting to allow the Board of Directors to
vote on the budget. After a budget is approved, then he will only have to
go to the board for authorization of expenses not contemplated in the
budget.
Dudley Cass made a motion to allow the Secretary/Treasurer and the
Ships Store operator to pay the normal bills of the association.
The motion was seconded and approved by the board members present.
Dudley Cass advised the Board of Directors and Officers that the normal
post Reunion critique meeting by a board of advisors, now a Board of
Directors is not required. He said the Board of Directors establishes
policy and the President and Secretary/Treasurer are responsible for the
normal operations of the association. Jack Timmons will as a normal part
of business, compile the financial results of the Atlanta reunion and
provide that report to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and to the
President.
5. John Reynolds closed the meeting at 9:55 AM.
