Treasurer's Report:
Jamey sent in a written report of the chapter income and expenses. The current balance is $6,024.68.
Membership Report:
Robin sent in a report. As of May 12, we had 127 paid memberships. All agreed that applicants should be given 60 days to pay their dues and then be dropped. An auto-reply that responds to e-mail membership requests could ask them to forward payment. Robin expressed a concern regarding minority enrollment and how it could be increased.

Programs Report:
The April Meeting (Sue Meisinger) was well attended and well received. The May speaker was all lined up and the sponsor had paid. Dave Downer is all set for June and he has picked a panel. Ardell Fleeson is on the schedule for the July morning meeting. Nancy suggested “Outsourcing” as a topic for next year, and Cornelia suggested “Ethics” as a future topic.
Diversity Report:
No report
Communications Report:
Nancy discussed the fact that some members have “unsubscribed” to the meeting mailer-mailer, which means they won’t get any e-mail announcements at all. She will mention this at the meeting and in the Newsletter in case some “unsubscribed” by mistake.
Thank you to Nancy for completing two book reports. There is a new section for this on our web site.
Workforce Education Report:
Evelyn advised that there will be a discussion group on June 1 on “Workforce Development”. Cindy said the invitation needs to fully describe the subject so that people will understand what it is about in order to make a decision on attendance.
Old Business:
Cornelia advised that activity for the State Conference is picking up. There will be table for chapter sponsorship. We may want to try recruiting new members at the conference. We need to work on a chapter brochure and Laura will bring ideas to the next meeting regarding giveaways.
Cindy discussed Chapter Discussion Groups. It was decided that the July topic would be Record Keeping, and the August topic would be I-9’s.
There was some negative feedback on the “Client Feedback to Improve HR Performance” Discussion Group. Amy said that people were interested in surveys and that was not what the facilitator had intended to discuss when the topic was chosen. He handled it well, though. It was proposed that we may want to have him back for a chapter meeting.
Dr. Bianco-Mathis is speaking on “A Coaching Model of Leadership” on May 14 at Marymount.
New Business:
A short discussion took place on cancellation of meetings due to weather. When it’s happened previously, the notice went out by e-mail. It was decided that it probably won’t happen often enough that we should get overly concerned about it.
The HR awards will be presented June 3 at the McLean Hilton.
There will be no board meeting in July. In August we’ll start the nomination process for new board members. A volunteer to head this effort up will be solicited at the meeting and in the Newsletter.
Kurt will contact Eileen Taylor to start working on a Certification Study Group for the Fall.
The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
