President’s Message #1
May 2023
This officer hopes that we have found everyone healthy and safe. Unfortunately, we could not have an in-person meeting. We do need to get back to these so we can meet our members personally. Virtual is a way of communicating, but an in-person meeting is a way of meeting and getting to know our members. Every effort is being made to get back to an in-person meeting but with limited volunteers, it makes it more difficult.
As your president again, this is my first message to you. This year we held our Annual Meeting April 21-22, virtually. There were not a lot in attendance but we did finish our meeting in a timely manner on Saturday. Everyone voted on every officer report, committee report, bylaws, Standing Rules and other issues. Those who attended asked questions and made motions during the meeting. We had election of officers for the ensuing year: Both Vice President, Immediate Past President and Trustee will remain open unless the Executive Committee wishes to appoint to fill the Trustee or Immediate Past President positions. The Vice President and President positions must be elected.
Results of the election were as follows:
Secretary: Virginia Marquette, CMA (AAMA)
Treasurer/Assistant Secretary: Nancy Lizon, CMA (AAMA).
Kathy Ham, CMA (AAMA) will remain our Advisor.
Delegates: First and Second Delegates are mandated by the Bylaws. Since we do not have a Vice President, this position became open. CSMA has 4 delegate positons this year:
First Delegate: Joyce Nakano, CMA (AAMA)
Second Delegate: Virginia Marquette, CMA (AAMA)
Third Delegate: Nancy Lizon, CMA (AAMA)
Fourth Delegate: Ashlyn James CMA (AAMA)
No Alternate Delegates were elected. These Delegates will represent you at the Florida Conference, September 21-25, 2023, in Lake Buena Vista.
Nominating Committee:
Kathy Ham, CMA (AAMA)
Ashlyn James, CMA (AAMA).
Virginia Marquette, CMA (AAMA)
Cynthia Pilgrim, CMA (AAMA)
During the meeting, there were several items that were discussed with motions coming forward. The 2022 Minutes were returned to the Minutes Committee to correct errors in spelling and other items. All Bylaws were approved with one bylaws being amended before approval. You can read the bylaws on the website. The Standing Rules were approved as well as the budget for fiscal year 2023-24.
The General Assembly voted for no fees for virtual CEUs for the next two years. This will be a time for all of you to collect your CEUs for recertification at no cost to you. The General Assembly also voted to absorb the cost of in-person meetings for the next two years which will include the CEUs offered. This will be a time of celebration to get back together as a Society. You will only be responsible for your sleeping room fee. We will not have fees for one South Meeting and one North meeting.
Reminder of future events:
The following are events all our members can attend. The SWR, Houston Hobby Airport Double Tree Hotel, July 21-23 is our leadership conference with all members invited to attend. This is a time where leaders from all our 8 SWR states come together to be available for questions on leadership roles. Most flights we checked will not get you into Houston until the meeting has begun so you might need to make a room reservation for Thursday, July 20 if you cannot reach the hotel by noon. They are planning around 10 CEUs for the weekend. Registration will open June 1 for everyone.
AAMA’s 67th Annual Conference will be September 22-25 with most members from the western states coming in on Thursday, September 21 because of time zone issues. The Conference will be held at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista at Walt Disney Resort. You may register through CVENT and book your hotel at the same time.
CSMA is tentatively planning its meeting in 2024 the weekend of April 12-14, since Easter falls in March and several leaders usually have conflicting events for the following weekend. More information will be posted on the meeting plans in the next several months; however, we are leaning toward a virtual meeting again.
CSMA wishes to thank our outgoing officers, committee chairs and committee members for their dedication, commitment and work in 2022-23. Although this year we have fewer volunteers right now, we hope that we will gain some during the year to help us stabilize our Society. We look forward to working with our new incoming officers and leaders.
Lastly, CSMA is asking our members if they wish to continue to receive email from CSMA. We have had a few members ask that they not be sent emails from CSMA. If you do not wish to receive email about notifications of events, please respond to 2021csmapresident@gmail.com and we will remove you from our email list.We know your privacy is important to you so we will do this if you request it. To add you back to receiving notifications of events through emails, you will need to contact us at the above email address and ask to be added back.
Thank you to all of you for your trust and confidence in your leaders to sustain this great organization.
My best wishes to all our members to remain safe and healthy. We look forward to “good things” ahead.
Your leaders who currently serve you wish to thank our membership for their confidence and trust in the abilities as your leaders.
