MEVAN minutes meeting 9/20/21

Present: Patricia Stazinowski, Leslie Searfoss, Lucie Mosian, Deb Monk, and Theresa Murphy

Absent: Deb Phelan, Cathy Fearing, and Erica Sieber

Deb Phelan checked with Key Bank and her name along with Theresa Murphy and Stephanie Baker are on the MEVAN account. She will meet with Theresa next week to get a debit card so that she can have access to the necessary funds to conduct business. She is working on getting a new website for MEVAN as the domain to our old website was purchased and is unavailable. It was discussed that since Stephanie Baker has not been an active MEVAN member for several years and has moved out of state her name should be removed from the account which was approved by the board.

Leslie will check with the Hilton Garden Inn to make sure that we are still on for an in-person conference. 

Patty reported that there are 19 people including board members signed up for the USGPIV class thus far and that she has received only 9 registration forms for attendees and 2 vendor registrations for the conference thus far. She will send out the brochure and vendor registration again to all the vendors who have not registered.

Deb Monk will reach out to various hospitals to see if she can recruit folks to attend. She suggested checking with merchants in Freeport to see if we could offer gift cards to those that registered early. Deb will also check with the Freeport Chamber of Commerce to see if they have any suggestions.

Lucie will reach out to Erika to see if she will send out the conference brochure weekly to those on the email list.

Board members need to adhere to the attendance of the meetings in order to properly conduct business. The secretary should be taking minutes and submitting them to the Board for approval. Patty was writing the minutes but does not have time to do both jobs. Attendance requirements need to be discussed.
