Committee Reports:
Legislative Committee: The publication “In the Public Interest”
does a good job of keeping members informed.
We also receive notices from Jack Duncan, previously with CSAVR,
regarding legislative issues.
Membership Committee: There are currently over 50 members. SD RehabACTion denim shirts are for sale,
$10 for members and $25 for non-members.
Training Committee: Two training sessions were conducted
regarding Social Security/ Supplemental Security Benefits. Mike Walling was the trainer. These training sessions were well
received. There will be a training
session entitled “Angry Young Adults” in May of 2003 in Rapid City. If the training goes well, it will probably
be offered in other regions of the state.
Public Relations
Committee: There was no report from
this committee because they have not been active. Discussion was held regarding the future of this committee. It was decided that the committee will
dissolve. Individuals who were on this committee were asked if they would like
to move to other active committees or not.
Changes in Committees: Rich Gardner
resigned his position on membership committee.
Steve Resick agreed to serve on membership committee along with Jane Williams,
Jerry Raabe, and Sheryl Logan. Randy
Christensen agreed to serve on the training committee.
Bylaw Changes: Changes recommended by the Board were
discussed at this meeting including changing the Treasurer’s term to a 3 year
term, instead of a 1 year term, because of the many responsibilities the
Treasurer has such as filing legal documents; having the past President remain
on the board for a year following his/her term; and having the VP become the
President the year after the term of VP.
Motion was made and seconded to approve the bylaw changes. Motion was passed unanimously.
Election of Officers: Rhonda Buntrock, Nominating
Committee member presented the nominees for Vice-President – Rich Gardner,
Secretary – Dawn Backer, and Member-at-Large – Margie Helgeson. There were no other nominations from the
floor. Motion was made and seconded to
accept the slate of candidates as presented.
Nominations were unanimously approved.
Other Business: There was no other business discussed.
Motion was made and seconded
to adjourn meeting. Meeting was
adjourned at 5:50 PM.
