New Business: Gary Hamelin spoke to the board regarding the Asthma Educator Seminar and funding. Gary mentioned he would like to continue this program for the future students but may require more funding. Gary expressed an interest in using some of the scholarship money to subsidize students’ cost to attend the institute. The board was positive to this idea and was very receptive towards helping students with their scholastic achievements.
The board regretfully voted unanimously to withdraw Paula Fortin from the office of president for the MeSRC. Karen motioned that the office of president be vacant secondary to neglect of duties as stated in Article IV, section 1, subsection C. Steve second the motion. Karen motioned that according to Article IV, section 3, subsection B, due to the vacancy in the president office, the vice president will become acting president to serve the unexpired term. Diane second the motion. This was a unanimous decision. The vice president abstained from the vote. The active president will notify the elected president, Paula Fortin, in writing that her position was voted vacant.
The board set November 16, 2005 as the date of the Annual Business Meeting. The next meeting will be August 24, 2005 at PCCA in Lewiston.
