Meeting Notes from Neighborhood Association Meeting - 09/05/2001

· Review of Committees:
o Communications: Jan Johnston, Chair (see link for meeting minutes)
o Social: Jennifer Attride, Chair
o Community Outreach:
o Dispute Resolution/Mediation: Paul Barringer, Chair
o Other committees not present, not reporting, or not enough people signed up

· Election of Officers:
o Much discussion on the "structure" of the leadership positions. Everyone in attendance agreed that a major concern is time commitment needed for the various positions. Several ideas were brought forward to alleviate this concern, including "co" positions (co-president, co-vice president, etc.), "steering committee" or "leadership council" approaches; neighborhood "board", etc.
o Attendees agreed on the following approach:
§ A neighborhood "leadership committee" consisting of a to-be-determined number of members. Current suggestion is 8 members. Those volunteering and/or nominated to be part of this leadership committee are:
· Roy Attride
· Jill Averitt
· Paul Barringer (agreed to take on Treasurer responsibilities)
· Cathy Camann
· Frank Cross
· Chris Ernst
· Jan Johnston
· John Reese
· Jeff Roberts
· LeAnne Sharp
· Mary Anne Turner
§ Thought needs to be given to logistics - i.e., term length
· 1 year, 2 year
· Rotation - avoid having all members rotate off at the same time - keep some continuity
§ If there are other nominations or volunteers, please contact John Reese at 829-0455 or jtreesenc@aol.com

· Association Name
o Everyone is asked to review previously submitted names (can be found on website - look under "Previous Meetings" - "Meeting Index" - "August 1, 2001") and be prepared to choose one next meeting
