The minutes of the
meeting are as follows:
1. Call
to Order—President Sarah Osborn Welty called the special
board meeting to order at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, December 12, 2003.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the election for Region
II vice president that occurred earlier this same day. There was a
question as to the authenticity of the election given that a candidate
that was elected did not have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
signed by his school administration.
2. Executive
Session of the Board—The board went into executive session
at 9:30 p.m. and came out of executive session at 9:45 p.m.
3. Region
II Vice President Election Results—Lee James moved, Jeff
Maierhofer seconded, to declare the Region II Vice President election
null and void because the winning candidate for the office did not
turn in a Memorandum of Understanding prior to the election as per
NAAE Policy 4.8.3. The motion carried.
4. Adjustment
to the MOU—Allan Sulser moved, Larry Long seconded, to add
to the MOU that: “National officer candidates are required to complete
the Memorandum of Understanding and submit it to the NAAE office prior
to running for office.” The motion carried. (This is the language
from NAAE Policy 4.8.3.)
5. Adjournment—With no further business to transact
at this time, President Sarah Osborn Welty adjourned the special board
meeting at 10:05 p.m.
