6:45 Vice-Chair’s Report
6:50 Treasurer’s Report $17,252 rebate came from IEEE. Six chapters received rebates based on the number of meetings and events that are in the vTools, anywhere from $220 to $295. *Chapters send your HOP number to Lee so that the can transfer the funds.
$550 additional will go to the PES for being a high performing chapter.
*Lee will send the full report to Dan G for him to add to the meeting minutes.
Intel will donate $10 for each volunteer hour that an employee submits, and sends the total funds to IEEE Oregon Section. *John P will develop a policy/procedure related to how these funds can be distributed to individual chapters rather than it all going to the Section.
Is there a Google docs or equivalent that can be used by the Section? *John P. will do some research and talk to Vera, and Dan G. will set something up once we get the information.
6:55 Secretary’s Report—Dan will send out direct link in a separate e-mail for these monthly meetings. Can he also provide the link on vTools? I was trained to avoid it due to concerns about uninvited guests attending. *In the future, Dan will include the link in vTools, and schedule a recurring meeting and forward it. If we have issues, have a standard password and have people request the password.
