NEWS FLASH!!!

2010 NORTH CAROLINA FEDERATION

ANNUAL MEETING

 

The NARFE national vice president Joe Beaudoin addressed the potential of an increase in dues (possibly up to $11) despite cost cutting measures taken and proposed for the national office.  The NEB hopes that an increase of this size will meet the needs of the association for at least five years—more if membership increases or even holds steady.  Any dues increase will be an agenda item at the national convention in Grand Rapids in late August.

 

Bill Austin made the surprise announcement that he has decided to run for Region X Vice President.

 

Action item for the chapters:  Any resolutions for the national convention must be submitted two months prior to the convention or no later than the end of June, 2010.

 

Chapters are encouraged to select delegates or prepare proxy documents so that North Carolina will have 100% representation and thus, 100% influence on all actions taken at the convention.

The general election was held on May 6th.  Paul Sams was elected President, Vilma Geisert was elected Executive Vice President, Gracie Couch was re-elected Secretary and Sam Crain was re-elected Treasurer.  Area Vice Presidents were elected on Thursday, May 6, 2010.  The following Vice Presidents were elected; Area I—Freida Terrell; Area II—Sue Hawkins; Area III—Larry Standley; Area IV—Ben Saunders; Area V—Lloyd Geisert; and Area VI—Walt Smith.  The new Federation Officers were sworn in at the banquet by National Vice President Joe Beaudoin.

The financial status of the N.C. Federation is sound thanks to the frugality of the Board members.  Board members regularly pay many expenses out of their own funds.

Additional photos and commentary will follow in the Federation Newspaper and on this website.
