Old Business
- NCLM- Future "Affiliation"
- Outline services provided by NCLM
- Benefits and Challenges
- Do we want to maintain "Affiliation" with the NCLM
- What would that look like?
- What can we afford to contract out independently
- Conferences/Events
- Membership
- Finances
- Discussion: Basically, the NCLM only wants to do Legislative issues. We need a part-time Administrative Assistant.
- The NCLM had to review if we can become a member in accordance with their Bylaws. What is the future benefit to NCCDA to remain as a member. In the past there has not been a direct benefit to our organization to be a member other than the services.
- Our options are:
- Hire a consultant or private firm to perform services needed.
- For our organization to become a non-profit.
- Look to support from UNC School of Government. Have a preliminary discussion with SOG first to see if it is viable.
- The Board will need to disclose to the membership the dissolve of the relationship with NCLM. And list our options to them.
- What we need: Membership management, Financial Management-includes collection of dues, Conference Management-Hotel negotiations-organization of conference participants, Logistic and negotiation of conferences, oversee website contract management. Solicit Conference Sponsors. Tara will develop RFP draft to be distributed to Board Members.
- Review of current NCLM contract of services that were to be performed.
- No need to have follow-up meeting with Mr. Hankins. But, it is necessary to have a meeting with Greg.
New Business
