THE FCB PRE-CONVENTION MEETING
MAY 13th, 2005
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL
President Paul Edwards called the meeting to order at 5:43 PM. Membership Secretary Linda Jacobson called the roll and a quorum was
established. The minutes of last year's Pre-Convention Board Meeting were read. Jim Kracht made a motion to approve them. The
motion was seconded by Morry LaTour and carried. The Post-Convention Board Meeting minutes were then read. These minutes were
moved for approval by Robert Miller and seconded by John Richards and carried.
Treasurer Patti Land made a motion to delay the reading of the Treasurer's Report until the Convention Meeting on Sunday. The motion
was seconded by Jim Warth and carried.
No report was necessary from the Constitution and By-Laws Committee.
Jesus Garcia made a motion to increase Project Insight Coordinator Sally Benjamin's pay by 6 1/2%. The motion was seconded by
Jason Goldfield and carried. Then Robert Miller made a motion to also increase her hours to 25 hours. Five of these new hours would
be devoted to Project Insight projects and 5 would be designated as working on FCB projects (i.e. White Cane Bulletin). The motion was
seconded by Sila Miller and carried.
Some chapter's problems with using the 501(c)3 were discussed.
Because the Credentials Committee meeting was very poorly attended, Membership Secretary Linda Jacobson reiterated that without
the approval of that committee, chapters would not be allowed to vote on Sunday.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sharon K. Youngs, Secretary
