Strategies for success in our areas
Suggestion: Whomever is the WASTS should be a WAVA member – this will provide us with access to the meetings and
also membership, communication with the members, and more.
Paul is the President Elect. Ken will continue as President through these changes. This will allow the group to continue to
move forward. Paul agrees to take over when Ken is ready to move on. This would mean Paul would take over summer
2012. Paul will take additional responsibilities to make this transition.
Membership Roster;
Tess has a record, cuts checks
Will we have our own membership record or continue to work through Tess?
Negative is that we then provide our names for public knowledge – completing conferences via advertising.
Frank used Tess to make the contact WA-Acte and they have this current info.
Survey WI-TEA surveyed our members covertly.
Regonline is good through Nov. 1st. Will outstanding balances continue to be served or forgotten?
Face to Face:
Saturday, Sept 10th – Renton (Paul will contact Jay)
Finalize Green Expo, update on FB, web
Google Skype for those not available.
