At this meeting the registrants enacted the proposed constitution.

A proposal from committee to structure the make-up of the leadership of NEMATYC. This is from a note to the committee from Bob Yawin. (presented for adoption to the membership at the 1984 conference.)

Here is the information we discussed at our June 6 meeting. I suggest we send it along to the people on our mailing list when we announce the date of our next annual meeting and solicit presenters and nominations for office.

Dear Colleague:

The committee of Jo Gervase, Frank Deane, Joe Menard, Jean Smith and Bob Yawin were asked to study the question of whether or not NEMATYC needs officers and a more formal structure than now exists. After having met during the months of May, June and September, we present the following ideas for your consideration:

OFFICERS: NEMATYC will have two officers, a president and a vice-president.

The vice president will be nominated and elected at the annual spring meeting. It will be the vice president's responsibility to organize the next annual meeting and host that meeting.

The president will conduct the business portion of the annual meeting and maintain a membership list and financial records in a ledger.

At the end of the annual meeting, the president will be replaced by the vice president, and the host of the next annual meeting will assume the position of vice president.

DUES: We recommend that there be annual dues of $3. All dues will be paid to the president and he will maintain records of the members and issue receipts for all dues received. Furthermore, when the cost of the annual meeting is determined, all pre-paid members will have the amount of their dues deducted from the cost of the meeting. All people attending the annual meeting will pay the fees connected with the meeting and may at that time pay an additional $3 as dues for the coming year.

We suggest these recommendations be adopted at the annual meeting to be held March 23, 1984, at Springfield Technical Community College, with Bob Yawin as President for the coming year and the host of the next conference being vice president for the coming year and president for the year thereafter.

Please send any comments on these proposals to:

Sincerely yours,
