WOMEN EXECUTIVES
Greensboro, N. C.
The organizational meeting for the group temporarily known as Women Executives was
held at the YWCA on Davie Street on Saturday, February 11, 1978, at 9 a.m. The
temporary president, Edith Conrad, presided.
The first order of business was to select an official name for the group. After
discussion, it was moved and seconded that the name WOMEN EXECUTIVES be adopted
as the official name of the group. The motion carried.
Before receiving the report of the Membership Criteria Committee, the president
reviewed the purpose of the organization which had been adopted by the November
luncheon group so that we might have it before us in considering Membership Criteria.
The purpose of this organization shall be to support one another on a
professional level; to learn from one another by sharing professional
information, experience, and ideas; to develop our influence and confidence as women executives; and to educate and encourage women to
aspire to higher career goals.
The group agreed that this statement should be incorporated into the By-Laws as
the statement of purpose of the organization.
The Membership Criteria Committee presented their report, a copy of which is
attached to and becomes a part of these minutes. It was moved and seconded that
the guidelines proposed by the Membership Criteria Committee be amended by the
following additional sentence: "The total membership shall be limited to a number
from time to time agreed upon by the organization." The motion carried. It was
then moved and seconded that the amended report be accepted. The motion carried.
There followed a discussion of the necessary officers for the group. It was the
consensus of the group that the following officers should be elected: President,
Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and
Membership Committee Chairperson. It was agreed that the Membership Committee
would consist of three members: the Chairperson to be elected by the membership,
one member appointed by the President, and one member appointed by the Membership
Committee Chairperson. It was further agreed that the Parliamentarian and the
Chairpersons for all committees other than the Membership Committee would be
appointed by the President. The group also agreed that we should have the following committees in addition to the Membership Committee: Publicity Committee,
Program Committee, and Arrangements Committee. When all of the foregoing had been
resolved by discussion, it was moved and seconded that this consensus of the group
be adopted. The motion carried.
Kitty Keesee agreed to design a logo for the group.
The group agreed to continue meeting on the second Wednesday of each month. The
next meeting will be on March 8, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. It appears that
this hour will be most convenient to the greatest number of members. We agreed
to try to reserve the City Club for our next meeting. A speaker will be secured.
It was moved and seconded that temporary dues of $25 be assessed, with the proviso
that no further dues assessment will be made of members for at least six months.
Because we are a new group and can only estimate our expenses, we do not consider
it wise to set permanent dues at this time. Therefore, based on our best estimates,
we have elected to set temporary dues at $25 for the six months' period. The motion
carried.
