BCCFA Executive Committee
Officers Present: Peter Helff, President;
Steven Ryan, Vice President; Denise Jerman, Treasurer; George Cronk, Secretary
1. The meeting was called to order by Steve Ryan (substituting for Chairperson Kevin Sullivan) at 2:40 PM.
2. The minutes of the meetings of April 10, 2001, were reviewed and approved without objection.
3. The election of a new Chairperson of the Representative Assembly was conducted. There was one nomination, for Kevin Sullivan, and the BCCFA Secretary was instructed to enter one vote for Professor Sullivan, who was thus re-elected RA Chair.
4. The BCCFA Treasurer’s Report was discussed and then approved without objections.
5. George Cronk, BCCFA Secretary presented a report on dues-collection notices. Some BCCFA members who opt to pay their Association dues by check rather than by payroll deduction then fail to pay by the official November 1 deadline established by the BCCFA Constitution. This results in the Association’s paying various expenses, including periodic dues to the NJEA and thence to the NEA and the BCEA, out of funds received from members who pay their dues on time while those who do not pay on time continue to earn interest on their unpaid dues money. Should many BCCFA members opt for the “late payment” approach, the Association would not be able to meet its various expenses and dues obligations to the NJEA, NEA, and BCEA. Dues-collection notices are being sent out by the BCCFA Treasurer, as provided in the BCCFA Constitution, Article IV, Section 3.b.
6. Roanne Angiello presented a progress report on the status of negotiations on Distance Learning issues. The report was approved without objection.
7. The meeting was adjourned at 3:40 PM.
