- George Kiser opened up the floor for discussion concerning the proposed slate of officers above. There was no discussion.
New Business
- Bill Collier moved that SCTM adopt these changes to our weekly meeting roles:
- Change “Invocator/CLE” to “Invocator” and combine with “Jokemaster” so the new role would be “Invocator & Jokemaster”
- Eliminate the “Camera Operator” role.
- Eliminate the “Greeter” role.
The rationale for each change:
- The CLE is no longer needed, so SCTM can eliminate this role. Combining these two minor speaking roles allows scheduling one less person weekly.
- When giving an in-person speech, simply hand your phone to your neighbor and ask to be recorded.
- The Greeter role was needed at our old location to guide visitors to our meeting room. We no longer need a guide at Sunset Hills Community Center. Additionally, all members of SCTM routinely act as greeters and ambassadors when we have guests.
- Liz DeCamp seconded the motion. George opened up the floor for discussion.
- Kathy Denton reasoned some members may shy away from the “Invocator & Jokemaster” role because they may not be comfortable with one or the other.
- George announced, “We have a quorum and a call for a vote.”
- George announced, “The motion passes.”
