President’s Message:

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to the 2014-2015 Program Year!

I know you have heard this before, but the fear of becoming Chapter President is real. The butterflies found me too and now I’m anxious, worried, tense, everything but relaxed. As you may have witnessed at any of the past educational seminars, I prefer to hang in the background organizing and planning, so taking the role as Chapter President will be very challenging for me. But, I started to breathe again after I realized that a solid foundation has been left by immediate Past President, Margie Toney and that I will have countless resources available among our committee members. With the tidbits I’ve learned from chapter and National leaders during the past seven years I’ve been involved with AGA, I’ve grown professionally, so I thought, why not give back? Montgom-ery AGA, I’m ready for the challenge.

Now, are YOU ready for the ride? Hang On! TEAM AGA has developed a program year that will keep you on the move. As the AGA train chugs through new waters we are encouraging everyone to be a part of the won-derful adventure. First locomotive, Emma Cole and the Membership Committee have a goal of 400 for the 40th. Hint: The Chapter’s 40th Anniversary is coming soon. Linked to this car is a Young Professional (YP) Advisory Board and after attending their first event on “Speed Networking” the YPs are running full speed ahead. Another addition that will help Montgomery AGA heighten our presence at local colleges is Campus Ambassadors, being led by Tashantia Stewart. Trust me devoted members, we have not left you at the station. In fact, we have several events planned throughout the year with YOUR special passport coming in November. I promise this message will end but, I’m too excited to leave off cars #four, #five and #six. LaTreeka Williams is the conductor for the Mentorship Committee which has efforts underway to assist members with your career path. And, I hope that you have already noticed that CGFM study sessions started in June. Don’t miss out on the nine scholarships, oops, eight be-cause the first one will be presented at the September luncheon. I told you, committee wheels are spinning faster this year.

The Education Committee is thrilled to announce the location of the Fall Training at the Marriott-Legends in Prattville, AL. Another change includes replacing the webinars with lecture series taught by professors from the local universities. We hope you will join us for the first lecture October 2. On the National Level take note that “Opportunity” is National President William Miller’s theme for this year. I will follow that by inviting you to read each committee’s annual plan on our website and see what Opportunities are in store for YOU. You will also have the Opportunity to support Montgomery AGA by attending our Septem-ber luncheon at the newly renovated Capital City Club with Dr. Keivan Deravi as our speaker. Opportunity are in store all program year. Will you answer?

This year, AGA has been given two 50% Becker scholarships. These scholarships will pay for half of the Becker tui-

tion and the good news is that you can now use 0% financing with any 50% scholarship. So if you are awarded the

scholarship, you can use 0% financing for the other half and make monthly payments over 18 months with no in-

terest. This will make your payment a little under $100 per month. Only serious candidates need apply. Becker will

be tracking the scholarships given and making sure the winners actually use their scholarships within the allotted

timeframe. Anyone who is awarded a scholarship will have to order their materials before June 30, 2015.

The scholarships will be awarded by the Montgomery AGA Chapter. For additional information, please email presi-

dent.montgomeryaga.org.

She asked if there were any ques-tions or corrections. 2014-2015 President Lucas made a motion to accept the minutes; Gladys Gray seconded. Motion carried.

In the seventh paragraph of the May 8, 2014 Awards Luncheon Minutes, the second and third line should read: LaTaya Lucas presented President Toney with a plaque and flowers from the Chapter and a pho-to album from her also from the Chapter.

T h e C a p i t a l C i t y F o c u s

In the past, AGA and AUM was splitting the cost. The 2013 Fall Seminar at AUM consisted of $43,999 in revenues, $30,771 in expenditures, and a net income of $13,227.76 ($6,613.88 split between AGA and AUM). The expenditures included items such as national and local membership dues, hotel accommo-dations for speakers, gifts for speakers, and snacks for the morning and afternoon breaks.

2014-2015 President Lucas contacted Embassy Suites, Double Tree Hotel, and Cramton Bowl in reference to hosting the 2014 Fall Seminar. Cramton Bowl never responded.

The purpose of moving is to expand the Montgomery Chapter. The capacity at AUM is 250 people, which includes the AUM staff. The Marriott Legend can seat up to 300 in the ballrooms. With the expansion, the Montgomery Chapter can also reach out to private sectors. Kimwana Robinson stated that the move will help build a relationship with Marriott since state employees are RSA members and can get discounts to help with our treasury. Jeannie Price agreed that moving to the Marriott Legends will be more profitable and get AGA members more involved.

AGA wants to maintain a working relationship with AUM, and considering them to host the 2015 Spring Seminar.

A concern was brought up about per diem for state employees. Kimwana, Jeannie, and Janice Duncan elaborated on per diem and noted that Montgomery is the base for travel, staying within the 50 miles rule. President Toney considered the per diem not to be an issue.

2014-2015 President Lucas is trying to save money with the speakers. She has some plans in the works. She also presented the cost estimate and suggested seminar prices for 300 attendees. Handouts were given at the meeting.

Past President Pamela Hill wanted clarity on when the 10% down payment to Marriott Legends needed to be paid. This payment will occur in the 2014-2015 program year.

President Toney clarified that Montgomery AGA does not have to pay right now, but must let AUM know about using their facility by May 31

st.

Montgomery AGA needs submit $1,800 as the 10% down payment. $17,790 was budgeted in the 2013-2014 program year.

A motion to move the 2014 Fall Seminar was made by Kimwana. Janice and Rachel Chou seconded. Motion carried. The 2013-2014 CEC members voted with 100% yes. The 2014-2015 CEC members also voted with 100% yes, but do not count for this meeting.

Comments/Announcements: The 2014-2015 CEC Planning Meeting is tentative for Saturday, June 14 at Troy University-Montgomery. More details will be sent by email.

President Toney again thanked everyone for taking out the time to attend the meeting.

Meeting adjourned: 12:49 p.m.
