Secretaries Report - Vines -

  • The minutes from our March meeting were approved and are ready for posting.
  • Positive comments have been received regarding the spring newsletter. Mary Jo Depp-Nestlerode has submitted an article for the fall issue. Shirley wondered if it might be used for the national newsletter as well. Karen will forward a copy to Shirley for her review.

Treasurer's report - Bixby - (See current financial statement)

  • The current balance is $9188.23.
  • Income has been received for the mini-grant ($1000), JCEP Scholarship ($200 - PACAA & Family Living) and Extension Extended ($90).
  • Question was asked by the recipient of the mini-grant regarding the process for receiving reimbursement from the mini-grant. She is to submit an invoice to Shirley indicating expenditures and will then receive reimbursement.

Vice-President's Report - Davis -

  • Dawn Olson has agreed to serve as chair elect for the scholarship committee. Other committees still have not reported chair elects.
  • Some committees have submitted goals for this year, but they are basically the same as the ones they submitted last year.

PA JCEP Conference Call - This will take place later today. The meeting will be held November 1 & 2 in State College. The ESP meeting will occur the morning of November 1. More information is needed for the committee to proceed with plans.

Chapter Merit Recognition Program Award - Jeff has submitted this for the chapter. The chapter easily achieved the platinum award.

The Achievement in Chapter Membership application is due May 1. Cathy Bowen will submit this for the chapter.

National Awards

  • The global relations committee received a professional development mini-grant.
  • Jeff Myers received a PILD scholarship.

National Committee Applications for open positions:

  • Member Recruitment and Retention - Michelle Rodgers is submitting an application
  • Professional Development - Jeff will contact Amy Gregor to see if she might be interested in applying for this committee
  • Resource Development and Management - Jeff Myers is submitting an application

National ESP Auction - Jeff communicated with Michelle Rodgers yesterday. The National ESP Auction website is current. It was recommended the need for auction items might be mentioned during the introductions at the Multicultural Communities Conferences remaining.

Website - Some of our pages need to be updated. Karen will work with Peg on this. They are:

  • Calendar
  • Membership & Benefits (2004 Membership List)
  • Minutes (Appears there are two templates in use.)
  • Resources

Extension Reaching Out to Multicultural Communities: At Home and Abroad - One session occurred April 5. No feedback has been received. Karen has a conflict with the April 20 session for which she was offering the introduction. She will contact Mary Alice Gettings to secure a replacement.

The deadline for chapter voting on national/regional recognition nominations is June 1. We will need to have a conference call or vote by e-mail once materials are received from National. Jeff is checking into this.

Our next board meeting will be via conference call on June 6, 2006 at 9:00 AM.

There being no further business, President Jeff adjourned the meeting.
