Public Speaking Northwest
Board Meeting Minutes
March 7, 2017

In Attendance: Julie Hutton VP of PR, Jean Tracy VP of Education, Jung Kim VP of Membership, Nancy Carpenter Secretary, Jim Tracy Treasurer, Lynne Dauenhauer Sargent at Arms, and Hilary Marquette Backup Sargent at Arms.

Meeting was called to order by Julie at 10:45 a.m. Julie is standing in for our president, Randy. The minutes from our February 14th meeting were approved with one modification, changing the start time to 10:45 instead of 11:45.

Public Relations: Julie is posting on FaceBook and Linked in about PSNW and asking members to propagate these posts. She is planning to utilize Project 10 Club PR Campaign Chair. Her helpers can earn credit in Project 6. One suggested idea is to have an event and have a prize drawing for the member and guest pairs.

Education:  Jean really liked Julie’s slide show on the PSNW FaceBook page and would like to see it and a few cover photo on our website. Julie is on top of that.  Jean is planning a Table Topics focused meeting and would like to do them often. The board concluded that these would be done at the end of each quarter with an accompanying party. We would call it a Table Topics Extravaganza and focus on humorous topics. We need another evaluator for next week’s contest.

Membership: Jung reported that we had 4 guests in January, of which 2 became members. In February, we had 5 guests and 2 are potential members. It was discussed and decided to include a photo waiver in our membership application documents.

Secretary: In the Minutes email entice members to come to the FaceBook page and “Like” us. Do we need to approve the minutes from each board and general membership meeting? Minutes are needed at the bank when the treasurer’s position changes hands.

Treasurer: Jim reports that we have 28 members and 9 have renewed. Jim will be gone from March 15th until April 1st. Lynne will handle the onsite portion of membership while he is gone. Jim is fighting with the bank over at $10 charge and is adamant that he will be victorious. Bank totals were not given due to ongoing influx of checks.

Sargent at Arms: Lynne is delighted to have Hilary as her backup. Lynne will be gone on an extended vacation this summer.

Motion to adjourn was made at 11:25 a.m. by Jim and seconded by Lynne.


Respectfully submitted by Nancy Hovan Carpenter, PSNW Secretary
