President’s Report

Year: 2013

Summary:

1) The President presided over 6 meetings of the LVPCA Executive Board (EB) in 2013: Saturday 19 January (retreat), Saturday 20 April, Friday 17 May, Friday 27 September, Friday 25 October, and Friday 22 November (mixer). All regular meetings were held at Penn State Lehigh Valley, beginning at 8:30 am. Attendance was good, and when EB members could not attend, a conference call connection was made, if possible. More than one connection can be established for future meetings.

2) The President provided a message in each of the 2013 Newsletters.

3) The President responded to community and professional inquiries on behalf of LVPCA and directed inquiries to EB committees as necessary.

4) The President and President-Elect met with Becky Reid to address several concerns about the activities for the Administrative Assistant position. These were resolved and brought to the attention of the EB.

5) The President spoke at the Annual Mixer to enlist more involvement in governance by the membership. This resulted in several members volunteering for committee work for 2014.

Goals as Past-President for 2014:

1) Work with the EB to redefine responsibilities of the Administrative Assistant.

2) Work with the EB to identify another person for work in the role of Administrative Assistant
