Meeting Agenda
August 2009
ILA Local 2038

The actual Agenda for our next meeting should have been included in our Meeting Notice. It wasn't but I consider this a minor oversight and will not quibble about it. Besides, our trusty By-Laws spell out the guidelines of a membership meeting in Article XXI Order of Business and a couple of other places, so we merely need to refer to them. With that in mind I present you with The Membership Meeting Agenda for May 2009: ARTICLE XXI ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Roll call of Officers and delegate and/or delegates. 2. Collection of dues, assessments and fines. (All members shall be in good standing to have rights and privileges.) 3. Bill, claims, and financial standing of the union. [ARTICLE VII Section 2. (b) The Secretary Treasurer shall make available to the Executive Board and the membership a financial report as to the status of all monies in the local's treasury at each Executive Board meeting and at each membership meeting and a detailed report after the annual audit.] 4. Reading of minutes of previous meeting. 5. Reports of committees. [ARTICLE IX COMMITTEES Section 1. Committee of Inquiry (a) This committee shall be responsible for accepting and recording all inquiries, disputes, problems, and misunderstandings regarding any By laws of Local 2038 GLDC ACD. Section 2. The following listed committees will also be active working committees for Local 2038 GLDC ACD: (a) Affairs Committee; (b) Political Action Committee: (c) Charity Appeal Committee, which will be a committee to examine, investigate and evaluate all requests for donations, Section 501(c) (3) charities as well as requests for bereavement gifts and hardship payments to members in good standing. (d) Maintenance Committee] 6. Unfinished business. 7. New business 8. Remarks for the welfare and good of the union. 9. Adjournment. It will be a nice change to see our Meetings run like we are a professional Union and not a bunch of kids in a tree house. Click HERE for a printer friendly copy of this article.
