------Session III------
Pep Song- Kathy Allen, Beta Zeta
Workbook & Chapter Activity Update- Kelli Armwood-Bryant. ER Epistoleus- Asked
administrative chairs to submit report no later than Tuesday February 25, 2020.
Treasurer’s Report – Cassandra Holcomb, ER Tamias. Distributed reports to
attendees at registration. The reports outlined the expenditures for the Operations and
Conference accounts. The current banking account balances were verbally given.
Because the Regional Audit chair was vacant, an outside auditor was contracted to
audit. This auditor agreed to perform the audit for the same price that the Audit chair
would have been reimbursed by the Region. The audit period spans July 1, 2019-
March 31, 2020.
Financial Secretary Report- Carolyn Gibson, ER Tamiouchos. Distributed reports to
attendees at registration. The reports outlined the income received for the Operations
and Conference accounts. Suggested a change to ER Bylaws to assess a late fee on per
capita received after November 30. There was discussion around this suggestion. It
was suggested that this change should be submitted as a formal recommendation.
Concern was raised that this suggested late fee implies acceptance of fees later than
the National deadline, which cannot be done. In the interest of time the discussion
concluded. No resolution was made for the suggestion.
Workshops- Sorors attended one of three interactive workshops enhancing/developing
skills in three areas. The workshops topics were Youth Advisor Workshop by ER
Youth Advisors, Financial Officers- Quickbooks by ER Financial Officers, Google
Docs Forms by K. Phillips and Zoom Conferencing by M. Newell.
