Minutes for Business Meeting at OPEG Spring Exchange 5-15-09
BUSINESS MEETING AGENDA
1. Call to Order and Welcome – Rob Fischer, President
2. Financial Report – Karen Shaner, Treasurer
Through April 30th, our revenue is $12,233 and expenses are $7,482. The net profit is $4,751.
3. Program Committee – Nancy Hood, Vice President
Rob thanked Nancy for her leadership of the Program Committee.
Nancy thanked the Program Committee volunteers.
She encouraged presenters to submit their PowerPoints for posting onto the OPEG web site (accessible to members only).
She mentioned that Ann O’Connell would be leading a free summer workshop on Hierarchical Linear Modeling for members.
Nancy noted that we are considering offering regional events rather than the Fall Workshop, as the numbers for the Spring Exchange were lower than expected. Such regional events may be free or have a modest cost ($10). Nancy urged members to send her feedback about their interest in such regional events and to let her know if they wanted to lead such an activity. OPEG will advertise such events on the web site and via the member e-mail list.
She announced the need for additional members to volunteer on the Program Committee. She explained that they have conference calls rather than face-to-face meetings.
4. Membership Committee – Rachel Holbert, Membership Co-Chair
Rachel recognized additional new volunteers on the Membership Committee: Carla Clasen, Sheri Jones, and Adrian Glandon.
Rachel reported the results from the recent survey with members and former members. The results are helpful in understanding members’ needs for additional services. She noted that one thing she learned was that people forget that they are members.
Rob mentioned that we added PayPal this year in response to feedback on the conference evaluations. He emphasized the importance of responding to the surveys such as the one about the Spring Exchange that will be e-mailed to participants in the upcoming week.
5. OPEG 2008 Election Results – Chip Partridge, Nominations Chair
Chip noted that he would send out the link to the online in the upcoming week. The nominees are:
President: Rob Fischer
Vice-President: Shon Bunkley
At-Large (2 positions): Jerry Bean, Mark Carozza, Susan English, Shawn M. Fitzgerald, Ann O’Connell, and Brenda Peters
6. Annual Awards – Rob Fischer, Awards Chair
Roberta O’Keefe Recognition Award for outstanding service to the organization – Marsha Zabecki.
Evaluation Recognition Award for outstanding contribution to the field of program evaluation in Ohio – Dee Roth. Dee was not in attendance as Rob thought he would surprise her with the award. Unfortunately, Rob was the one who was surprised when he learned that Dee was not planning to attend the conference. Jim Healy spoke on Dee’s behalf. Rob will arrange to present the award to Dee at a later time.
7. New business – open to the floor for comment/discussion
There was no new business.
8. Closing Remarks and Adjournment
The meeting ran approximately 10 minutes late, so the remaining presentations began and ended approximately 10-15 minutes behind schedule. This did not seem to be a major problem for participants.
