Ft Sam Houston Golf Course
Dave Pope, John Shroyer, Mike Nishimuta
Pope, Shroyer, Nishimuta and Bill Croom scored 16 packages for AFA Family Member Scholarships.
Meeting Discussion
1. In order to have a better understanding going forward of how to improve our AEF "Giving Plan" and therefore our budget we need to understand some things.
a. How does the revised GI Bill affect the need for scholarship funds for active duty members and their families? (Pope will get an update on the new GI Bill benefits)
b. Talk to special interest groups and get their views - Top 3, Chiefs, CGOC etc (John, Ed, Lionel for enlisted, Pope for CGOC)
c. Squadron Commanders
d. Meet with VPs and get them involved
2. Develop a Finance Committee
a. Develop a Charter
b. Accomplish an annual Budget
c. Investment Oversight
d. Annual Audit
e. 3-5 people
3. Ideas for promoting scholarships:
a. CCAF Graduates, Distinguished Graduates of Airman Leadership School, Education Office.
b. Find out what other Chapters are doing in regard to scholarships. How do they advertise, what categories do they use, how much do they give. Suggest we research the following chapters: Colorado Springs, Hurlburt, Eglin, Hanscom, Riverside.
4. Bonding of Chapter and Foundation personnel. This is necessary because of the larger amounts of money we are now responsible for and to ensure a vetting process is accomplished on those who have responsibility for the financial decisions.
5. Recruiting Leadership
a. Mike Nishimuta may depart at some point. He is training Doug Nelson on the website maintenance. Lionel has resigned but will continue to work special projects if needed.
b. Need to check with Ron Colunga at M7 Aerospace (Tel 473-1728) and see what his interests are and what roles he may be interested in. Find out from chapter if they have a game plan for him. If not, the Foundation could use him perhaps to run our Finance Committee.
c. Alan Beaty- (Tel 805-1033). Has volunteered to be Chapter Treasurer. Is he going to do that...check with chapter. Foundation feels since roles have changed with money handling for Symposium, we need to get all bonded. Now would be a good time to roll in a permanent treasurer. If Chapter doesn't use Al for that Foundation has a role for him.
6. Set date with Chip Caprez to set up an account with Southwest Securities.
7. The Board voted to sponsor one Daedalian Foundation Cadet Flight Indoctrination Program (CFIP) candidate for 2010. Estimated cost $3,000. In 2009 it was about $2700 so we are rounding up for budget purposes/planning.
