Minutes from the previous two Board meetings (electronic meeting on December 15
and physical meeting in San Diego on January 10), were not presented for
discussion, correction, and/or approval at this emergency meeting to approve a
newly-revised slate of candidates for the upcoming Spring elections.
** Signature of Recorder/Secretary on Official Copy of Minutes: Chrissie Anderson Peters
** Date and Hour of Adjournment: February 9, 2004, 8:05 a.m. Eastern
** Body of Report:
Shelly McCoy, Outreach Director, moved that the slate of revised candidates, now including candidates for the Treasurer-Elect position (both candidates for this position were formerly candidates for the upcoming Director positions) [See Supporting Document 1], be accepted by the Board, after President Kraemer offered a point of order that only elected officers can make a motion (motion had previously been moved by Valentine Muyumba, Mentoring Committee Chair). The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. [As an aside, Parliamentarian Melody Allison quoted the section from Sturgis about who may or may not make motions, second, vote, speak, etc., and also cited the relevant section of NMRT's Constitution – Article V – pertaining to Electronic Board Meetings. In essence, it is not clearly stated in either of these documents that only elected Board members may make motions, second, and/or vote, and Ms. Allison suggested that the Board may want to consider making these guidelines more specific for future reference in such situations as arose during this Board Meeting.]
With the agenda completed and electronic votes having slowly posted over the weekend, President Kraemer asked for a motion to adjourn on Monday morning. Shelly McCoy, Outreach Director, moved that the meeting adjourn at 8:05 a.m. Eastern. The motion was seconded and the electronic Board meeting adjourned at 11:27 a.m.

Board action requested:
Approve
addition of candidates for office of Assistant

Background:
With
the January 2004 resignation of our current Assistant

the nominating committee has solicited nominations to
replace
him. Our current Treasurer has agreed to serve another year, to
help
train his successor. Both of our
candidates had been running for a
director
position, and have withdrawn from that race in order to run
for
Assistant Treasurer/Treasurer-Elect.
