CoSIDA Officer's Board Call - September 14, 2006
I. President Doug Dull (Maryland) said he was
putting together the job description for the
Director of On-Line Services. He said he had
received input from several people and would forward
the job description to Maxey Parrish to post on the
CoSIDA website. He said he hoped to have the
position filled fairly soon.
II. There was discussion of assisting an SID who is
making numerous trips for medical treatments for his
wife. CoSIDA will pay for
one round-trip flight for him. Dull said he would
talk to the SID to book the flight and would then get
the cost to Treasurer Dave Wohlhueter.
III. Dull said he is working on a list of
strategically placed Division I SIDs who can contact
other SIDs in their conference or area to get their
thoughts on the CoSIDA Workshop.
IV. First Vice President Charles Bloom (SEC) said
the group working on research for a possible CoSIDA
Executive Director had met via conference call. He
said they had broken down the major subjects
involved in the process. He said they would meet
again on Sept. 22 and hoped to have a rough draft by
the next CoSIDA Board call. He said the goal was to
have a proposal by Januray of 2007 and he felt they
were on target. The committee consist of Bloom,
Justin Doherty, Nick Joos, Eric McDowell, Carol
Hudson and Judy Willson.
V. There was discussion of the San Diego site visit.
The hope was to find a date between Dec. 11-15. Dave
Wohlhueter, Ed Carpenter, Doug Dull, Charles Bloom
and Nick Joos will make the trip.
VI. Third Vice President Justin Doherty said he had
contacted Jeff Rubin of ICS about getting the
Special Awards nominating and voting process
on-line. Wohlhueter asked if this would create any
additional costs with ICS. Doherty said he would
continue to work with ICS on the project and would
check on that.
VII. Marketing Director Ed Carpenter was not on the
call but had provided a marketing update to the
board by email. There was discussion about current
and potential future CoSIDA sponsors.
VIII. Wohlhueter said the books were closed on the
Nashville Workshop. He said CoSIDA initially owed
$61,000 to the Renaissance and Nashville Convention
Center for food and beverage and room attrition. He
said he had already paid $5,000 to the Convention
Center and said that after negotiations, the hotel
had agreed to one additional payment of $15,000 -
making the total paid $20,238.19. The board thanked
Wohlhueter and the others who negotiated on CoSIDA's
behalf at reaching this resolution.
IX. Wohlhueter said membership renewals were moving
slower than expected, approaching the October
Academic All-America deadline. He said he was
concerned about non-renewals. For the first time no
invoices were mailed, but all non-members in the
CoSIDA system were sent an invoice by blast email.
X. Secretary Jeff Hodges said the 2006-07
directories were on target to be shipped by October
1 as usual. He asked for any items for the November
Digest issue, with an October 1 deadline.
The call was adjourned.
