in FY 2003, the leadership training sessions will now be titled

to fund this year's event with no distinction between the members
and the president and president-elect line items.
After some discussion, J. R. Baron made the following motion:
I move to provide a budget of $5,000.00 to provide for expenses
pertaining to the 2003 CSI University in Philadelphia, PA on June

Foundation Liaison
Held annual meeting on June 6, 2003. Elected Marty Waterfil as
new president. The foundation has floundered in recent months
and the Board has determined that a new direction is required
and that at its next meeting on 6-23-03, a proposal for income
and a method of distribution of scholarship funds will be made.
The Foundation Board requested from the Atlanta Chapter Board
of Directors a funding of $10,000 for FY2003. The Foundation has
received $6,000 during FY2003 from donations, the new Foundation
Drive and other sources.
Pat Downey reminded the Board that, in order to maintain the
not for profit status of the Chapter and Foundation, a funding
of not more than 25 percent can come from a single source. Funding
from the proceeds of ConstructionForum, the holiday social and
the fall golf outing is to be for the Foundation and that this
amount is approximately $4,000.00.
Pat Downey moved that $4,000.00 is to be transferred to the
Foundation from the various events (ConstructionForum, the holiday
social and the fall golf tournament). John Robinson seconded.
Motion carried by voice vote.

APRIL BOARD MEETING MINUTES:
Minutes for April 2001 approved as read.
TREASURER’S REPORT: problems
with computer program. No activity except 723 & 770 payouts.
Need to change signature cards.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Electronic format, Susan Simpson:
E-mail 375 sent; 41 bounce backs
Web-site revamped waiting our approval. Next month web should be
better and have more links.
Goal — relatively short. Pres. Message takes lots of space;
2 pages max.
Pay —Pal: cheaper this way. Credit Card %’s too high and
as well as charge from AH
Transfer of responsibility of payment to the individual who’s
account it is. Urge all to get on their web site and get a handle
on it and see if it will be to our benefit. MUST have input for
next meeting.
Janet to organize intermediate meeting to discuss in detail.
Bill Mateer- Establish data base-Bob Thomas has been attempting
update list from institute, not successful yet- request to membership;
go to website and update roster info; then Bob can get this and
then maintain list. Who notifies membership? Bob Thomas or Janet
or Susan. Who’s getting the membership list? Pat & Dale
& Casey. They must get it to Susan. Susan will send e-announcement
to membership to request them to update their roster info on national
institute website. Board thinks it’s a good idea to update
e-mail at local level.
Dick Edwards- updating information is frustrating.
Must go to institute for info correction.
58 for tonight —32 for tech session; we will pay for 62 which
is guarantee.
NEW BUSINESS:
Handout-start review on how we implement e-format (insert handout)
Consider this: Rich Roe, region conference coming up. Subject at
board meeting; increased region dues 4 to 8 dollars. Pat will need
some reason /feedback from board before conference to see how we
really do feel. What’s our responsibility to region, what’s
there responsibly to us? Is budget posted anywhere? Casey will get
budget e-mailed to short list.
John Robinson: to change our current budget would cause problems.
Increase our chapter dues but it’s too late right now.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
FORMAT/WEBMASTER: see new business
SOCIAL: Ken - need help; too
