Our Chapter had a holiday party on Dec 12 and announced former president Steve Okonek as 2012 Member of the Year. Steve served as president of our chapter for 9 years.
Our next meeting will be January 10, and we will have a speaker from our local OPO.
Our nominating committee will propose a new VP to be elected at our February meeting, as Paul Yang is no longer able to serve. Linda O'Hara is the acting VP until the February election. We will not have an election this year for President, Treasurer, Secretary, or Membership Chair.
--------
Our Chapter had a Board meeting on Dec 20 and elected board members. In addition to the chapter officers, the Board consists of Bart Costerus, Cheryl Moss, Steve Okonek, Linda O'Hara, Marie Donner, and Ana Stenzel.
Our chapter sponsored Team NorCal at the Transplant Games. We extended our contract with Team Northern California until June 1, 2013 to give us more time to handle distribution of funds left over from Team NorCal fundraising.
Steve Hummer presented our financials.
We are working on our tax requirements and required form CA RRF-1 to be filed in May.
We have a new "Record of Assigned Duties" document that gives details about various roles within the chapter. This document acts as an addendum to the chapter Bylaws, which we revised during the summer. (Other chapters might find this "ROAD" document useful.)
At the Board meeting, we discussed various ideas for 2013 activities, including: revising our brochure, developing our new Facebook page, participating in the Redwood City July 4 parade, planning for Donate Life month, preparing display materials, delegating various outreach and support activities within the chapter to small teams, networking with other organizations, and participating in TRIO Strategic Planning.
To enliven monthly meetings, we plan to email a specific "topic for discussion" prior to meetings when we don't have speakers. For example, we might discuss Donation After Cardiac Death (DCD), or news in the transplant field.
