Treasurer's Report:
Robin Stacy dispersed the treasurer's report. She reported that the
August balance was $36,626.94. Robin shared that she does not
always know why there are some discrepancies in the like, item
details: concern is that there may be some actions that ACTE is
completing {pay in/ pay out) that are not following the requisition
process that we have established {signed by ACTE-SND President
and Treasurer for approval before processing).
Robin has found that there are several participants that have not
paid for our last conference. She will be pursing these items
through the districts/businesses that are involved to get them
resolved.
Michelle Plakosh proposed a motion to recommend that ACTE not
pay out any bill until a requisition is attached and approved by
SND Board President and Treasurer. Kathy Kuhn Hoskins
seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Theresa Lingenfelter proposed a motion that any revenue that is
deposited into the ACTE-SND account needs to be documented to
the SND Treasurer using a deposit and statement format that will
be effective at our next Board meeting. Michelle Plakosh seconded
the motion. All were in favor. (Robin will create a form that we will
review).
Theresa Lingenfelter proposed a motion to allow Michelle Plakosh to
access funds of up to $250.00 in order to purchase promotional
items of membership for the spring conference. Robin Stacy
