Present:
Mandy Cramer, Secretary
Bill Fulton, Advisor
Lanna Giauque
Annsley Brophy, Treasurer
Stuart Jenkins, Youth Co-Chair

Education Committee: Senate Bill 191, voted, and moved it forward to COYAC. Bill has not been endorsed either way because of a lack of quorum. It is close to passing however. Through the digital voting, responses are not able to be discussed. Only organized resistance to bill are teachers, and most members who voted it down had talked to their teachers. Email will be sent back out in order to get the vote passed/ failed.

Lanna had to leave the conference due to Mother’s Day Plans.

Erica has reported that the Membership Committee is working on spreading the word about the applications to youth.

Appointing of Committee Chairs:
Mandy: recommends leaving it to next years Council because no one knows who will be coming in/ coming back or how much they would be willing to take responsibility for.
Annsley: agrees with Mandy.
Stuart: the way that most public service institutions run, but at the same time, we won’t have all of the applications in, and we won’t be able to have our new members there. But if we knew who was coming in, we would know who would make a good leader and whom the Council would be in good hands with.
Annsley, Stuart, and Mandy agree to do it in the fall with the new Council.

Form a Formal Ethics Committee:
Stuart: Based on personal experience, I could see the Policy and Procedural Committee Chairs as well as the Executive Committee form the Ethics Committee, although I do see the pros and cons to that option.
Annsley: Seeing as how the Executive Committee has a conference call, it is easier to just take care of an Ethical Conflict quickly and quietly.
Mandy: Sees an issue with a large group being able to keep the privacy of an issue.
Bill: I agree with a smaller group.
Mandy: I suggest that it is amended into the by-laws that the officers are also on the Ethics Committee, so that the members know who they are electing to take care of the issues.
Bill: I agree.

Meeting on June 4th:
Possible hour when COYAC can meet to wrap up business?
Stuart will identify items to be handled, and we will work forward from there.
Agenda
Bill will work on a draft.
Mandy will not be able to be in attendance, however she will try to join remotely if it is at all possible.
