MD/DC Chapter APPA Board Meeting   6/28/01  Rocky Gap Conference Center

Attendees: Ayodele McClenney, Dan Branigan, Kevin Petersen, Sherry Vucci, Bob Burhenn, Gary Viola, Pat Tate, Willy Suter, Dennis Bohlayer, John Jensen, Kevin Mann

Meeting started about 8 in the café over breakfast

Kevin called the meeting to order and presented Sherri and Dennis with a small token of appreciation for all the work they have done to get the First Annual Retreat off the ground. 

Sherri presented the revised budget.  It looks like we could loose about $600 on the meeting.  The idea was presented and agreed upon to sell the remaining chairs for $15 each to try and help recover some of the costs.  It was also agreed to give two to Gary for the sign shop and two to Tracey for her help. 

Next Board meeting will be August 3^rd at APL in Columbia.  Gary will provide us all with the directions. 

Topics discussed for possible inclusion:

• Corian repairs – put on hold for now
• Tool Show and exhibit by Maintenance Warehouse – Sherri to check a contact she has (Bob to help out as needed)
• Security through Design – John to look at this topic for further development
• Kevin would like to see a custodial topic
• Life Safety – sprinkler retrofit, physical security of space and buildings – Willy to look at this one possibly with Gage-Babcock
• Gary suggested and is looking into a making this one a joint APPA/IFMA meeting
• After lunch tour of some facility at APL (not security clearances can be a problem for some areas of the campus)

We will need to finalize these for the August 3^rd meeting.

 Web Page

• Need photos of Board members
• Need bio’s of members (Bob has some of these)
• Minutes from past meeting (Bob to send up)
• Schedule of events
• Dennis to look at designing a logo and Sherri and Kevin to then discuss cost
• Dennis would like to have it up and running by August 3^rd at least at a URL that the Board can get at to look at it for comments.

Meeting survey form was presented by Willy and we all agreed good – print it. 

Education/Scholarships

• Willy will go over this at the Friday breakfast  with all attendees
• Application were to be in by May but to date none received – agreed to extend the deadline to August 1.
• Announce the awardees at the September 21 meeting
• Willy will email us the cycle process – this should be included on the web page.

 Future meetings/Planning

• The idea of the overnight meeting is still sound.  The location is still good as it really stops the last minute cancellations – it requires a commitment – agreed on by the Board that this is a good idea and location –motion carried.
• Timing of the meeting was a issue to some as it coincided with a fiscal year end or beginning.
• Mailing to those outside the Chapter were non-productive and will not be done next year.
• The timing differences between the hotel registration cut-off and our registration cut-off was a small problem as it sort of led to complacency.
• Sherri suggested a spouse/family program for next year.
• Next years dates of June 27 and 28 look good to all for now
• Willy was going to as Jim Cole about those dates now but it was agreed to hold on that for now.
• The November planning meeting dates still need to be set by Dennis and company.
• We will need nominations by our August 3^rd meeting to get the ballots ready for the September 21 meeting elections.

 Meeting adjourned at about 10 to get ready to open the registration desk.
