SusTech requests an advance/loan of $3000 to be repaid from conference proceeds. This is to cover Region 6’s portion of SusTech’s seed money which is, in addition, the Oregon Section’s seed money. Ed Perkins made a motion “The Oregon Section to loan SusTech $3000.” Russ Mickiewicz seconds the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
-
The Oregonian Section will transfer funds budgeted for chapters to chapter concentration banking accounts. It is assumed that chapters will meet MGA requirements for meetings. Paulo discussed MGA requirements for chapter and student branch rebates from MGA. Chapters and Student Branches must report meetings by the 3rd week in February to get rebates. Changes in chapter officers must be reported ASAP.
-
Intel rebates $10 for each hour of volunteer work by their employees and retirees. This includes travel to/from meetings, meeting preparation, presentation preparation, duties as an officer, meeting, and conference organizing time. Intel disburses volunteer rebates in a lump sum to the Section. In order for chapters to get their Intel volunteer rebate, they must track volunteer hours and report them to the Treasurer so the funds can be disbursed properly.
