Item 3 on the Agenda: Reports
President’s Report:
- Willdan is an option to cover all of the classes at the MACE conference, the cost for this would be to supply the rooms for the presenters
- Would need to decide the options for the offered trainings
- Rachelle is going to group together the classes Willdan has offered and the board will decide from there
- Mallory at Camden Resort has offered a two year extension to the contract
- Willdan also offered to do online training sessions
Vice-Presidents Report:
- Would it be possible to get merch for MACE? Adam is going to look into cost factors for this. Would be a way to incentivize members to join
Treasurer’s Report:
- Current balance is 6678.19
- Looking at changing the fee structure for membership: If we change to a city centered membership approach would it be best to: have up to a certain amount of people allowed for one cost OR individually charge per member within the city OR a hybrid of both where we charge per member with a price cap. Adam is going to write up the options and send it to the board, once a conclusion is made he will draft up something to send to members.
