EXECUTIVE BOARD ::
V.
Finance Officer’s Report - Mike
1. Mike provided a written report.
a. Accomplishments from previous month included adopting the annual
budget, purchasing and installing Quickbooks Pro, and processing several
event reimbursements. Mike noted that on the reimbursements everything
seems to be going smoothly, but he reminded everyone to submit the
necessary receipts and backup to help ensure timely processing.
b. Revenues Summary
c. Expenditures Summary
d. Region Balances
e. Goals for next month include: filling last two vacancies on the budget
oversight committee and setting the quarterly meeting dates/times,
reviewing each finance form to determine if revisions are needed, and
work towards revising the MMASC budget format to include narratives,
descriptions of various funds, etc.
VI.
Communication Officer’s Report - Clay
1. Website and Website Training
a. Successful final website training session on Monday, Jan. 11th. Handouts
from the training are posted online at the Regional Chair Resources page.
Clay is also updating various parts of the website and will be publishing
the Winter Forum and Annual Conference pages shortly..
2. Social Media Update
a. MMASC is now on Facebook and LinkedIn. Links to those sites are on
the main MMASC.org under the Outlook newsletter button in the center
column. We currently have 13 Facebook Fans and we need 25 before we
can create a unique Facebook URL for MMASC—so please join! Events,
links, articles, and hopefully pictures will be shared on both sites.
b. Carl asked if we are we able to get stats for site traffic or page views from
the social media sites. Clay responded that yes, we could in fact do that.
He reported that although our presence on Facebook is still new, we have
13 Facebook Fans, 68 unique visitors, and 15 page views since January
6th. He will also provide data in the future.
3. Newsletter Frequency
a. The Executive Board met and discussed changing the frequency of the
newsletter. Part of this is cost driven. The newsletter will become a
quarterly publication with a special issue prior to the annual conference
and supplemented with more frequent electronic updates, as well as the
social media outlets.
b. Carl mentioned that with the reduced frequency, we are really focusing on
quality content for the newsletter.
4. Miscellaneous Items
a. If anyone is not receiving listserve emails or html emails (including the
December newsletter), please let Clay know so that we can resolve that.
b. We have been contacting members and board members who need to
renew their membership. If that is you, please get that resolved.
