(Anderson-Lorenz) Meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M. Clark T. Parkinson, Secretary Date A~~rd of Director', Lou Lorenz, P~ Date Page 4 Appendix A- President's Report, Mar. 26, 1968 B.O.D. Meeting This is a report of progress in the fields that appeared weak at the Fall 1967 Seminar: 1. Communication 2. Promotion 3. Training 1. Communication By consolidating the clerical functions of the Treasurer, Certification Chairman, .and Secretary in one central office, the entire Association function has become smoother and faster. The member's questions are answered more accurately. The primary benefit has been the efficient manner in which examination applications have been scheduled and new memberships processed. It is my opinion that this procedure should be continued until the officers involved can present an accurate summary of a full years activity. The Executive Committee dediced to publish an Association Newsletter on an experimental basis. To date, two issues have been distributed, have provided facts and figures as to cost and benefits, as well as, experience to the individuals involved. If the publication can obtain better Association wide cooperation, I believe it could be a valuable tool for internal communication. 2. Promotion The area of promotion both to the public and to the Association members is one that needs more planning. The Newsletter should be beneficial in promoting the Association to its members. The Publicity Committee designed an attractive poster, which you all have and display. These merely touch the surface of what should be done. 3. Training Association planned instructor training is a difficult area to approach. Each individual seems to have a different need, or at least a different request, of the Association. During the past season, several sponsored clinics were arranged, but the total number of people attending was proportionately small. Many different ideas have been voiced on this subject, but the first important dedesion should be to what degree and in what areas should the Association participate in instructor training. This decision should be made jointly by the various committees involved. More detailed reports on the above subjects will be presented by officers and committee chairmen. The Association is aware of its problems, and the Board of Directors will continue to try to solve them as the entire organization continues to grow. For the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Secretary, Treasurer, and Certification Chairman for their cooperation this season and congratulate them on a job well done. Respectfully submitted, Lou Lorenz, President Intermountain Ski Instructors Association Page 5 Appendix B - Secretary's Interim Report - Mar. 26, 1968 BOD Meeting After 5 months experience with the new "Executive Secretary's" position, I can draw the following conclusions: 1. Consolidation of the Secretary's and Treasurer's, Certification and Clinic functions has resulted in a more efficient and expedient method of handling Association business. 2. With this consolidation has come a tremendous amount of paper work and administrative detail. 3. The renumeration set down in the last B.O.D. meeting is, with two exceptions, adequate to cover the cost. Namely, processing "new members" and "clinic applications" require a great deal of time and paper work, which is currently not being considered under the present "experimental" basis. 4. The Certification program this season has run exceptionally well due to a central "clearing house" for processing applications, coordinating exam schedules, and relaying results to the candidates. The paper work, however, is tremendous and should be modified next season. In summary, it seems, at this juncture, that the Executive Secretary's position has and will in the future provide the Association with a valuable instrument for administering its business on a much more efficient and businesslike basis than in the past, provided that a capable individual is selected for the job and he has at his disposal a secretary or helper who can do the day-to-day routine work required. A more complete analysis will be made after the full year has evolved. As yet, a full "Spring Clinic" hasn't been held, and a "Membership Billing" has not been made. At the Fall Board meeting, my report will contain specific recommendations and a complete analysis of this position, including my future plans as far as the Secretary's job is concerned. As of March 24th, the following statistics reflect the Association's membership: Members 409 Current Members 357 New Members 1967-68 30 Members Processed by Executive Secretary 141 Certification Candidates Processed 92 Appendix C - By-Laws Committee Report - Mar. 26, 1968 B.O.D. Meeting The By-Laws Committee consists of Bob Zeigler, Chairman, and Bill Haskins and Ed Pond as committee members. The committee held one meeting since the Annual Membership meeting. The sections of the By-Laws taken under study were Sections II, VI, IX and XI. In Section II a proposed change and an alternate proposed change are submitted to provide for the office of Executive Secretary. The recommended change provides for an Executive Secretary to be hired by the President and approved by the Board of Directors while the alternate provides for an elected Executive Secretary. The proposed change is as follows: SECTION II 1st paragraph - delete the word "secretary." Add new 2nd paragraph: "The President shall have the power to appoint, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, an Executive Secretary Page 6 Appendix C (continued) for the duration of the President's term of office. The compensation for the work performed by the Executive Secretary shall be determined by the Board of Directors." The existing 2nd paragraph would become the 3rd paragraph. The existing 3rd paragraph would become the new 4th paragraph and changed to read: "The Executive Secretary ...... " The existing 4th paragraph would become the new 5th paragraph and the 1st sentence would have the word "collect" deleted. The alternate change to Section II is as follows: 1st paragraph change "Secretary" or "Executive Secretary." Add a new 3rd paragraph: "The compensation for the work performed by the Executive Secretary shall be determined by the Boarc of Directors." The remaining paragraphs would be the same as the above proposed. The committee recommends the proposed change over the alternate for the following reasons: 1. It would place the President and the Executive Secretary on an employeremployee basis. 2. If the Executive Secretary is placed on a professional level, the association is more likely to pay what the job is really worth. 3. Admittedly the present personalities and situations lend themselves well to an elected secretary, but this is not likely to be carried into the future. A member may not be available and convenient for the job. The By-Laws should be planned on principles not personalities. It is further recommended that this change should be taken under a study and then acted on at the end of the present terms of office at which time more intelligent appraisal can be made. SECTION VI It is recommended that the first 2 sentences be rewritten for clarity as follows: "The Governing Board shall meet annually at the place specified for the annual meeting of the Corporation and within two dCo/s following adjournment of such meeting of the Corporation. The Governing Board shall elect officers and transact such other business as may come before the meeting." Since notification of this change was not given prior to this meeting, it should be considered at the next Board of Directors meeting. SECTION IX is still under study.
