Agenda:
The August Board meeting minutes were approved with one correction.
Treasurer's Report:
Jamey forwarded a report of the chapter income and expenses. The current checkbook balance is $14,419.44. Much of these funds are SHRM Prep Course dollars. We actually have approximately $7,000. The Treasurer’s Report was approved.
Membership Report:
Robin advised that we’ve received seven or eight new memberships since the August meeting. She’ll be sending out requests to validate directory information soon, in preparation for updating the chapter directory.

Programs Report:
Amy distributed a schedule of speakers for 2004. March, July, and September are proposed as Breakfast Meetings. Several sponsors are tentatively lined up and waiting for more information on topics. American Express financial advisors have indicated an interest in sponsorship. Mary asked if we were interested in this. Amy said if the pitch was to companies as a whole and not to individuals as customers, that it would be ok.
Nancy asked for clarification on Michael Hager’s topic. Is it “outsourcing”? Amy will let Nancy know of any title change.
Nancy suggested holding an opening for a speaker on FLSA changes, if they are issued. Amy said she’ll be flexible on the schedule so we can make adjustments if the FLSA changes do get released.
Diversity Report:
No report
Communications Report:
Nancy received an inquiry from an author who had heard about our book reports and asked if she provided us with her book, would someone read it and write a report. Nancy agreed. She has read the book and written a report.
Nancy purchased $47 worth of gift certificates from Payless Shoes to donate to Embry Rucker.
Workforce Education Report:
Evelyn proposed that Educational Institutions would be good partners in Workplace Development initiatives. Judy suggested we could add an Education Liaison to the Board. Robin suggested that we provide education program information on our web site rather than schedule additional meetings, which some who would like the information would miss out on if unable to attend. Judy asked Evelyn to further develop her ideas and report more specifics to the Board at a later meeting.
Certification Study Group:
Kurt advised that 16 people have committed to the Certification Study Group, and most have paid. The class starts on 9 September. We’ll realize a profit of approximately $2,633.00 after paying for course materials. Eileen will have to be paid out of that money. Kurt also reported that we can get SHRM bookmarks and brochures for free from National SHRM. He’ll get a supply so that they can be set out at chapter meetings.
Old Business:
Cornelia sent word that 200 are registered for the State Conference. All exhibit booths are sold and the sponsor list is growing. Nancy will distribute conference flyers at next week’s chapter meeting.
Laura ordered clips and candy and the chapter brochure is ready to print.
Judy will check with Cornelia on details concerning manning the Dulles table at the conference.
Cindy reported that the Chapter Discussion Group went well last week (Employment Eligibility Verification). The next session is October 2nd and the topic is “Workplace Violence.” The November 6th topic is “Succession Planning.” Cindy said she will need help organizing future Discussion Groups.
Bernadette sent word that the next SIG Meeting is scheduled for October 22nd.
Lisa reported on the available board positions for 2004. Board members who wish to continue participation in 2004 should send their “Willingness to Serve” forms to Lisa. Judy wants to have at least one name against each position.
New Business:
Judy briefly discussed the Holiday Party format. It will be held on Wednesday, December 3rd.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
