II. LSAG Meeting Topics for Discussion
Hello Everyone,
Please join me for our Fall Meeting via Zoom.
The following is a working list of agenda items for discussion. If you think of additional items, please let me know.
1. Nominating Committee -Three volunteers are needed to establish a nominating committee. Per the Constitution & ByLaws, I need to appoint a Chairperson and elect two additional members from different clubs to form the Nominating Committee. The following board members have indicated they will no longer be available and need replacement: Ollie Schiller (President), Marilyn Walker (1st Vice President), Polly Ward (Treasurer) and Sandi Osiecki, (Secretary). The following board members indicated an interest in continuing to serve on the board: Stephanie Clark (2nd VP - Database), Marcie O'Neall (3rd VP - Membership) and Golda Radar (Librarian/Historian). The committee will need to secure four volunteers to fill the above vacated locations and announce those volunteers at the Spring meeting. The new officers will be announced prior to the end of the year
2. 2020 Fall Fees - Given we have been unable to conduct any business since March, we question if we should bill for Fall 2020. This is our larger billing and usually nets approximately $1,300. Should we defer this billing cycle?
3. Annual Competition and Event - we are still scheduled to have our annual event May 21-22, 2021 at Lone Star Convention Center in Conroe. We have until January 31, 2021 to cancel or reschedule without penalty.
Several leagues have done electronic shows. Some using their own platform and others using various ones available on the Internet. We need to determine if we want to have an electronic completion and workshops as our event, thus canceling the face to face meeting. Also, we need to decide if winners from competitions that may not have aligned perfectly with LSAG rules can be eligible.
4. Recent Bylaw change and other possible changes - The most recent change voted into the Bylaws requires the Best Of awards be selected from first place winners. Other areas of concern in the Bylaw that have been mentioned include the First Honorable Mention ribbons, review of the categories to accommodate new types of mediums, how to classify oil pastels and some general clean-up items. The current Bylaws require changes be submitted by one of the leagues, therefore, we as a board or those attending the meeting cannot propose changes. Another option is to review the list after the pandemic ends and normal business resumes.
5. A new Facebook Group has been created that allows anyone interested to join and post. It is hoped that members will join and share any and all art related information, even non-LSAG functions. Please check the blog for updates on competition dates as we currently are not sending out a newsletter due to a problem in the distribution method.
I look forward to our Fall Meeting and hearing your thoughts on these topics.
Ollie Schiller
