SEPTEMBER 2023 EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING MINUTES

Amy opened the meeting with the following agenda items: By Law changes, 2024 Board and Committee Chairs, and Cobblestone Quilt Show Support.

2024 Board and Committee Chairs:

·       Jean Craig has agreed to CMQG President-Elect for 2024. Phoebe, Elaine, Lex and Corinne agreed to second terms as Treasurer, Outreach, Social Media and Secretary, respectively. Kerry Bevers is okay with Programs but needs assistance.  

·       Chairs are needed for Special Events and Swap/Challenges.  

·       It was proposed to amend the Membership Form with Committees that members can check off to join.

·       Discussion about Programs fees charged by speakers and what amount of the budget is available.  Move fund from Events to Programs is a possible solution. 

 

Changes to By-Laws:

·       Move Board Elections to November, solicit in September and Nominate in October.

·       President doesn’t pay dues.

·       Add Quilt Camp to Committees as new committee.  Quilt Camp is open to non-members on an invitation-only basis.  Non-members registration fee may have non-member fee added.

 

Cobblestone Quilt Show Support

·       The suggested amount of $2000 is not supportable per Guild’s annual operating budget, but a lesser amount may be considered.  Discussion included that CMQG is entering Barn Quilts and Series quilts and therefore individual members will be submitting registration fees for all of those, registration fees amount has not yet been announced.  More information is needed to make a final decision on CMQG financial support for the Show.
