May 2, 2022

The GCV Board of Directors met January 16, 2007, at the Kent-Valentine House. Sally Guy summarized accomplishments in moving forward with strategic plan implementation and expressed appreciation to board members.

Second Vice President Kim Nash advised liaisons to encourage their committees to discuss each proposed change thoroughly, adding, “We do not need to cause confusion and angst by stumbling over that threshold in a big rush to catch up.”

Treasurer Dianne Spence summarized accounts and noted that, for the first time, dues notices would be sent electronically. Finance Chairman Anne Baldwin and Dianne discussed a proposal to change the GCV fiscal year from April 1 – March 31 to July 1 – June 30, primarily to better reflect the GCV calendar. They provided a detailed plan to make the transition that included tax and reporting requirements. The board approved a motion by Anne to implement the change.

Development Committee liaison Catherine Whitham reported progress in donations to each fund and described development initiatives to increase donations within the membership that would include an annual publication and the placement of remittance envelopes in all Journals. The board recommended that the Strategic Planning Committee reconvene to discuss funding of the initiatives.

Recording Secretary Ann Gordon Evans provided a recap and the meeting was adjourned.
