WCA Board Minutes, Oct. 11, 2007

 

Reduced rates for organizations? 

This could be done at a mini-conference, not at a large conference.  Plans are made for 30% profit.  At the Mental Health Conference held at the Woodmark in June 2007, the hotel was free but the cost was in the food.

 

Emphasis must be placed on the legitimacy of belonging to a national organization.

 

WCA publication for 3rd quarter of 2008

WCA newsletter published November, October, February and May

Must review advertising if we want to go with Blue Water

 

Conference Update

17 walk-ins

Numbers down dramatically

Expecting 150, currently 50 down from where we usually are

Profit?

Attendance at conference based on 50/150/75

Current treasury at $$3,100, the lowest it has been in years.  Reasons are increased share of dues to divisions and the WSCA Grant.

 

WSCA Questions/Answers

1.  Collecting dues separately

2.  Yes

3.  Only as primary division

4.  Yes for college supervisors.  What about WASACES?

5.  ASCA membership

6.  WSCA liaison to WCA.  WSCA considers itself an affiliate.  Will attend WCA  

     Board meetings if invited and vice versa.  Will contribute an article printed in

     the WSCA newsletter to the WCA newsletter

7.  Lifetime membership remains the same.

 

Should WCA membership be changed to add WSCA as an affiliate?

Should WCA members be offered discount for joining for 2 years.

Should student rate continue membership for two years after ___ (??)

 

WCDA

 

Issues contributing to WCDA discontent

1.  Members were told that if they did not have a Masters, they could not be a

     full member, only an associate member which carries a non-voting status.

2.  This information appeared on the WCA website, but was removed

3.  Mary told Suzy (WCDA President) that she would get back to her last January,

     but contact did not take place.

4.  Suzy Mygatt-Wakefield resigned because WCDA was taking up too much of

     her energy over many years.

5.  The WCDA Board resigned, not because of president’s resignation, but

     because they did not get support from membership.

 

WCA

Three year goal to rebuild
