REVIEW OF 1/17/2021 MINUTES – Kristine stated changes made by Deb and Cathy from original minutes. Nyambura made a motion for approval and Zee seconded the motion. The motion was passed by all the board members.
Revisions to the 2018 Secretary Minutes and Bylaws are affirmed.
Deb reviewed the history surrounding the Amendment to the Bylaws made in 2018, which declared that the Treasurer be appointed by the executive board, and report to the executive board: The Executive Board voted on 10/14/2018 to begin the process of such amendment. This proposal was voted on and approved by the Membership (as required by the Bylaws) at the 11/10/2018 meeting. Deb explained that the Bylaws document was never revised to reflect the Amendment made and read a suggested revision.
A suggested revision to the Secretary’s 2018 Minutes Addendum, which captured the membership vote on November 10, 2018 was also read.
Cathy made a motion, Zee seconded the motion, and the Board approved to accept the
Revisions made to the Secretary’s Addendum to the 2018 Minutes as well as the revision to the existing Bylaw document.
Kristine is to retype the Amended Bylaw document reflecting the revision approved on March 21, 2021 and make it available to each board member.

Items Proposed or Under Consideration
- The length of term for the Treasurer will be decided at the end of 2021.
- Hire someone to do QuickBooks, audit and to help with the yearly budget.
Find persons to help with web site modifications integrating Stripe and Quick Books and qualified to give overall review to explore other options. Research is needed to determine how to move forward.

Link requires booking ahead, cancelations accepted as needed without penalty. Cathy booked the Link July through December, with exception of Hollis’ lecture in November.
