Board Meeting Minutes, February 26, 2019

Discussion of New Treasurer Candidate                       There was discussion about the candidate for Treasurer, Debra Cobb, and how the role will differ from the role that John Grohol has played as Treasurer since SPM was founded. After much discussion about how our Bylaws define the Treasurer position, it was agreed that we can meet Debra’s desire to be Treasurer, but not a board member. As Treasurer, she will be an officer of the corporation, but not a member of the board of directors. Action: Motion to go forward with a vote for Debra Cobb as Treasurer as an officer of SPM, but not a member of the board of directors. An electronic ballot will be sent to all board members after the meeting. The motion was approved unanimously. Governance                                                  Lynda Mitchell Governance report to the board was tabled until March meeting due to time limitations. Chicago Budget Request                                Geri Action: Motion to approve the budget request from Geri Baumblatt to fund SPM meetups in Chicago.                             The motion was approved unanimously. Adjourn — Next board meeting: March 26, 2019 at 4 pm Respectfully submitted, Janice McCallum SPM Board Secretary
