It was decided to not collect any membership dues at this time until the
bylaws can be modified and approved. Consultants should be aware that in
order to be a member of the ArDHCC they must be members of ADA and
the national DHCC -DPG.
Lea will send copy of district bylaws to Rose for review as model for
ArDHCC to move forward.
Rose will begin a search for possible speaker for state meeting and
consultants’ pre-meeting.
Lynda will meet with Christy Wells to transfer signatures on the checkbook.
Rose will continue to develop a membership list and email minutes of this
meeting to consultants who have expressed interest in being members.
Respectfully submitted by Lynda Anderson, Secretary/Treasurer(prepared by Rose Hoenig)
