Title: OUCH Updates
Post by Gator on Oct 16^th, 2007, 9:09am

Good morning everyone! The following e-mail communication was sent out this morning to all members:

Quote:

Changes in the Ranks

Tony Amabile has been appointed as our new Convention Committee Chairman.

Brian Nemhauser, Certified Public Accountant and financial consultant, has been appointed as OUCH’s Chief Financial Advisor.

Mike Day has returned to the OUCH Board of Directors. Mike has also been selected as the OUCH Spokesperson

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voting Cycle Changes

At the Members Meeting of the 2007 OUCH Annual Convention in Richmond, Virginia, the members in attendance were asked to consider and approve a measure to move the election cycle to coincide with the Annual Convention. Elections would occur in May and the first meeting of the new Board of Directors would take place at the convention where the outgoing officers and directors will pass the baton to the newly elected. This would allow for initiation and orientation of the new officers, directors and committee members at the convention. The new leadership would be presented to the membership at the annual members’ meeting. The measure is also expected to help address a problem of low BoD output between October and the holiday season. The members in attendance approved the measure unanimously.

I thought Batch had just been appointed to that job. Was it an interim appointment?

I don't know if anyone, including Batch, expected his appointment to be permanent. The decision was made at the last Director meeting to select a new spokesperson. Y'all got stuck with me.

I will do my best to keep everyone informed of as much as I can in as timely a fashion as is possible.

I don't know if "stuck" is the right word. I, for one, am glad to see it.

And many thanks to Batch for stepping up to the plate in the interim. ;;D
