Bylaws- Beth Blackwell - no report Parliamentarian Wanda Manning no report Membership - Janet Davis reported that we have a new member, Tracey Gergis with Frankenmuth Insurance Company. Education Pam Grimes - report New Business President Willett passed around a brochure for a new fundraiser called Thats My Pan and asked everyone to go on their website to see if it is something we want to sell. President Willett advised that Robin Bennington with the Durham Association is going to get tickets for a joint outing with RAIP to the Durham Bulls. The date is Friday May 4, 2012 and the tickets are $10.00 each. You must let Robin know if you want to attend and she needs your money by April 2. Jeanne Hess advised that Cathy Bowling taught the CWC course for RAIP and DAIP and drove to our office every week and she thinks we need to compensate her in some way. Jeanne Hess made a motion to give Cathy Bowling a $50.00 gas card. Debbie Pass-Soles seconded and the motion passed. Old Business Beth Blackwell, Chairperson of the 2012 RAIP Nominating Committee presented the following slate of officers: President Jan Davis President Elect Jeanne Hess Vice President Beth Blackwell Secretary Debbie Pass-Soles Treasurer Barbara Hutchinson Past President Katy Willett
Shirley McLamb-Hudson made a motion to accept the slate of officers from the 2012 Nominating Committee. Since this recommendation came from the Nominating Committee, no second was needed and the motion passed. President Willett reported on Region II Conference in Dover, Delaware, March 8-11, 2012. Those from RAIP that attended were President Willett, Jeanne Hess and Wanda Manning. President Willett advised that there was no money left over from Regional this year to pass on to the next host and the consensus was that each state should host the Regional Conference rather than a local association. North Carolina will host Region II in 2013 in Asheville, NC. The discussion was that we have money left from our last Regional Conference and that we should have our Region II Fund account along with RAIP account audited. Members are to check into finding someone to audit both books at a reasonable fee and report back at the April meeting. President Willett advised the National Convention will be in Dallas, Texas, June 6-9, 2012. There being no further business, President Willett adjourned the meeting at 7:30 PM. Respectfully submitted, Shirley W. McLamb-Hudson, ARM, AAI, CPIW, CISR, DAE RAIP Secretary
