Here's a follow up item from our business meeting. I thought we might want to use the blog as a central place to have the conversation.
Issues for Discussion:- Discount: Should the person that manages the finances, books the Mercy Center, handles registrations, makes room assignments, etc. and communciates this all to the rest of us receive a discount? If so, how much of a discount? On what? There seemed to be consensus that a discount would be in order, although no vote was taken. Angelo proposed 50% discount. Loretta suggested limiting this discount to the conference fee (vs. the Mercy Center fee, which would be a "pass through.") Barbara suggested making the fee amount contingent on the number of seminar participants.
- Passing the Torch: If someone is ready to take over the duties, Loretta is ready to pass that torch. Both Barbara and Laura have expressed a willingness.
- Divide and Conquer: In the past, Loretta's responsibilities were divided by at least two people. Do we want to examine doing that again? If so, how should the duties be divided? How would any discounts be shared?
- Vacant Slots: In the past we've had a waiting list of people interested in attending the seminar. However, over the past few years, that's not been the case and we've been scrambling to find people at the last minute. Participants know that if they have to cancel, it's ultimately their responsibility to find their replacement, but Loretta said the group's been great at helping with this. Mollie offered to manage a list and work with people who have to cancel.
