Danita McAnally, Scot Nelson and Richard Moore were also present.
Richard summarized the success of the convention. Suggestions were discussed on how
to improve the convention such as a Friday night activity and exhibitors’ survey. The
Starlink presentation went well, and the section meeting were receiving very favorable
responses; however, roll sheets were not necessarily accurate.
The EC discussed researching a contract with Microsoft similar to the Texas A&M
contract that allows members to purchase Microsoft software at extremely low prices.
Mel offered to obtain information concerning this project from Texas A&M. Richard
Moore stated that this could provide incentive for institutional memberships.
After discussion, April 27, 2002, was set as the date for the EC transition meeting. This
meeting is to be held at Love Field at 10:30 a.m.
Richard Moore informed the EC of the dates and location for the retreat. The retreat will
be May 20 to May 23 at a Marriott property that is just south of the Omni Southpark. The
Faculty Representative Workshop will be held at the same property on August 3, 2002.
Faculty Leaders Conference would also be held at this same Marriott property on October
11-12, 2002.
The following salary decisions were made by the Executive Committee.
Since Scott received a large raise in December, the EC voted that he would not receive
another at the beginning of the new fiscal year which begins April 1. The vote was to
give both Carol and Richard a cost of living raise that would be applied to their base
salary. Larry agreed to research the current cost of living before we stipulate the
percentage increase. Additionally, Richard Moore was given a $2500 bonus because of
his exemplary work during his first year as the Executive Director. These decisions were
unamious.
