MINUTES WIS STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING OF July 20, 1994
Members of the steering committee met in Room E128 of the Otowi Building.
Attending members were:
Lois Dauelsberg
Denise George
Shirley Herrera
Jo Irwin
Deborah Kubicek
Susan Roach
Karen Schultz Paige
Wendee Brunish
Deborah handed out an updated board member information sheet. She asked if
she could replace home addresses with email address. Agreed. This updated
version now has pager numbers on it.
Summer Picnic:
Deborah gave a summary of ticket sales (Great!). Both Deborah and Shirley
have been receiving calls about the picnic and WIS. It was decided to
prepare a little more for the picnic. Jo and Susan will work on preparing
some sort of brochure about WIS. Karen will update the membership survey
so that it looks like an application and put dues info on it. The list
of goods to buy was given to Shirley. A sign up list for other things
was passed around. We still need a gas grill if anyone has one to loan us.
Membership Applications:
Concern was brought up about getting membership applications out to those
women who have attended WIS functions or who have showed an interest in
WIS but who do not come to the picnic. Deborah will compile a list of these
people. If anyone has names they think should be added to this list please
contact Deborah. We will then sent out applications and brochures to these
people. There was mention of creating a membership packet.
Call from Wendee:
Wendee attended a Leadership conference sponsored by AWIS. She would like
to give a one hour talk at LANL about the conference and have LAWIS
sponsor it. It would be open to all lab employees. She will be gone
Sept 7-14. Karen will call to schedule a large room for it. Jo will
take care of publicity (Newsbulletin and possibly a flier to WIS members).
August talk:
Summary of handout by Susan: Thurs. Aug 25th. Socializing at 11:45.
Lunch at noon. Talk about 12:15. Alicia Lauritzen will talk on
"Changing Hurtful Encounters into Healing Experiences". $9.50 for
non-members, $7.50 for members (subsidized $2 by LAWIS) RSVP by Aug 18th
to Susan. Limit 30 people. Suggested that someone show up at least 1/2 hour
early. Sample tickets are fine. Susan will need 30 of them. Susan will
prepare a flier to go out to the LAWIS membership.
New board member candidates:
Who is leaving: Lois, Shirley, Jo, Deborah, and Leslie
Who is staying: Denise, Karen, Lynda, Trish and Susan
Who would like to run again: Deborah, Jo maybe, and Shirley maybe
Number of people we need to find: as many as possible
Susan has volunteered to be a member of the Nominating Committee. Jo
will contact Roberta Day Idzorek and Carol LaDelfe to either run for the
board or be on the Nominating committee. We revisited the Bylaws on this
issue. Call for nominations need to be at least 6 weeks prior to the
Annual meeting. Mail ballots need to be sent out to the members at least
2 weeks prior to the Annual meeting.
September Annual Membership meeting:
Has been moved to the beginning of October sometime due to the talk by
Wendee to be scheduled in September. We believe Lynda is supposed
to be scheduling this. Deborah will contact her about her plans.
October Annual NMNWSE meeting:
The details were relayed from the Network's Newsletter: Fri. Oct 21 -
Sun. Oct 23rd at the Swiss Chalet in Ruidoso, NM. Registration will
be $40 for members and $45 for non-members.
Deborah talked to dede Collins/Dues:
The Los Alamos WIS IS the Northern Chapter of NMNWSE. The dues for next
year will be $25 (of which $5 comes back to us) and will be due Oct 1st.
They do expect some to trickle in later than that though. The board agreed
to have the members send their member dues directly to LAWIS and then we
send $20 of that onto NMNWSE. That way we will be able to keep better
track of who has paid. The money will be sent to Lucille Forster, the
Network's treasurer. Libby Haas is in charge of membership if we need to
contact her for any reason. We will ask that dues be sent by mid Sept.
Next Newsletter:
Needs to be sent out around the end of August. See agenda for items
that need to be included in it.
It was noticed that an EYH planning meeting has been scheduled for August 30th.
This meeting needs to be organized.
Deborah suggested that each board member write an end-of-year summary of
what they have done the past year. This should especially include
important details about how they did what. (eg. phone #s,
software/hardware used, locations, lists of people, etc). It was
suggested that this be completed before the members leaving have left.
So probably one month before the Annual meeting. Deborah is
collecting all software used (Newsletter, inkjet mailing lists,
WIS member db information) in hopes to be able to make it easier for
the next crew coming in.
The next Steering Committee Meeting will be Wed. August 3rd. Karen will make
arrangements and send out announcements.
