General Chapter Meeting Minutes
August 20, 2008

Brick and Block Company where we were treated to a plant tour and observed the actual manufacturing of concrete blocks. Following the very interesting tour, we were treated to a delicious dinner. Jeff began our business meeting at 7:30. He reported on our focus group project and updated the members. On a motion by Dale Curth, seconded by Gary Meeker, the minutes of our July meeting were approved.

David Heyne presented Laura Parrott with 3 awards:

1. Her 15 year service pin
2. The certificate of appreciation for her direction of the Churchill Downs Program.
3. Great Lakes Region Award for the Churchill Downs Program
David also announced that there will be a Toyota Camry awarded for a hole-in-one at the Golf outing August 26th.

Jeff reported that the Day at the Races will not replace our November meeting, and that the Trade Fair will not replace our February meeting, as it has in the
past.

The split-the-pot drawing was won by Phil Johnston.

Board Meeting Minutes
August 14, 2008

Attendance: Jeff Clark, Dale Curth, Laura Parrott, Sandy Auckerman, John Olivia, Clyde Warner and Terry Brown

Location: Lee Brick and Block Company

Jeff called the meeting together at 4:35 P.M.

I) Old Business:

1) National Convention – Members that attended this year’s convention in Las Vegas discussed the benefits they received, which led into the 2009 convention; which will be held in Indianapolis. Jeff set a goal of 20 Louisville Chapter Members attending, and suggested that we budget money to defray their expenses. This project will be discussed further at the next board meeting.

2) Standing reservations This program has been discontinued and all members should make their reservations for dinner meeting through Pat Sloan on the CSI hotline (584-2747)

3) Trade Show Co-Chairman: It is CSI’s year to provide a co-chairman, who will assist the AIA Chairman with the 2009 show, and then become the lead person for the 2010 show. So far, we have been unable to find anyone, but Jeff says he has a possible volunteer.

4) Focus Groups: Our lists of volunteers is complete for active members and non-active members. We still need to fill up the nonmember group so the discussion programs can proceed.

II) New Business:

1) Treasurer’s report: There was no report because our Treasurer (Jim Bornstein) went to Europe for a couple of weeks. (Hopefully without our money!)

2) Directors and CommitteesCommittees: Jeff has started a program to have specific directors responsible for the actions of specific committees. This is designed to increase the effectiveness of our various committees. The directors and their respective committees are: Laura Parrott is working with the Nominating, Certification, By- Laws, and Honors and Awards committee. Amanda Schoonover is working with the Trade Fair, Membership, Public Relations, and Program Committees.

3) Committee Reports: The By-Laws committee is changing our by-laws to be more compatible with National By- Laws, the changes will be brought before the chapter when complete to be voted on and approved. The Membership committee is planning to recruit non-affiliated CSI members who have no home chapter. They are also
contacting former members who did not renew. Dale reported on an idea that he picked up at the Regional Conference in Evansville, which involves awarding an incentive equal to our “split-the-pot” amount for the evening to all members who bring a guest/prospect to our annual membership meeting. On a motion by Laura Parrott, Seconded by Dale Curth, it was unanimously agreed to put this program into effect at our next membership night. Another membership incentive idea suggested is to give all new industry members a free tabletop opportunity to introduce themselves to the chapter PLUS sell their product. The program committee is working on a tour of McAlpine Dam for
September tour with AIA.

4) Day at the Races: Save Friday, November 14th for this major event. Laura Parrott has committed to 80 tickets and can get more if we need them. Churchill Downs has a new policy of no returns, so we have to pay for whatever we order.

Respectfully,
Terry Brown CSI

Several Board Members reported that they received very good feed- back. There was some criticism of the Seminars. Our Treasurer reported that it was a financial success

Due to the Trade Fair income the chapter is solid. James Bornstein suggested we recruit a member to give a table top presentation at every regular meeting, which would be a total of nine.

The reservations are lagging for this important seminar, so the board discussed ways to increase attendance. We need to sell the benefits of the seminar which are: Th k t k i ti ll The keynote speaker is a nationally recognized expert and i s a very entertaining presenter There will be 6 AIA CEU’s for attending Lunch is included “Building Envelope” and Sustainable Design” are hot terms in Architectural Circles The Seminar is an outstanding value Doctor Lstiburek normally gets up to $750 / person for his presentations Jeff Clark set a goal of recruiting 3 people from each target firm and planned to pass around a sign-up sheet at the general meeting, asking our membership to list the firms they will contact.

Meeting Minutes, August 9, 2007
Louisville CSI General Meeting

John Oliva started things off by reading meeting minutes from August 14, 1975, which was held at the Essex House, Louisville, KY. Sixty members were in attendance and a phone tree was created to ensure good attendance. Connie Adams boasted a treasury of $1,600.00. The topic of the meeting was Natural Gas Consumption. It was projected that no fuel would be available for commercial use by the year 1980!

Jimmy Bornstein kept the momentum flowing by urging all members to invite guests like never before. He suggested that each member make three calls to prospects since personal invitations seem to work best.

The “Character of the Month” for August was Dale Curth of Arrasmith, Judd, Rapp, Chovan, Inc.

The meeting was called to order by Madame President, Sandy Moore Auckerman, around 6:20 p.m. on August 9, 2007. The first issue of business was that of Retired Status / Emeritus Status. Sandy explains the Institutes definition of each:

Retired status

.
The floor is then opened up for comments / questions from the members. David Heyne expressed concern for the future of Louisville CSI and the burden that waiving dues may impose. After hearing various opinions, the decision was made to waive the chapter dues for the Retired / Emeritus (National dues are still required by Institute) until it is felt such an arrangement is creating a hardship, at which point the issue will be revisited.

Jeff Clark had “dirty” gifts to sure to wash before you use!

The September meeting will take place at Clifton Lofts. We are currently seeking individuals / companies interested in presenting a technical program.

It’s a boy!!!! Congratulations Amanda Schoonover & Baby boy Jack! Jack was born on August 6, 2007, and he was big! In Amanda’s absence, John Oliva and Jeff Clark will be covering events.

We confirmed our intent to invite all chapters in the Great Lakes Region to our annual Churchill Downs event on November 16, 2007. We also confirmed we are continuing to plan for the CSI / AIA Christmas Party to be held on December 13, 2007.

The lucky winner of Split the Pot was “Nathan” Van Bogart, a.k.a. Don, cashing in at a wopping $11.00 (total pot = $23.00). Be sure to bring your business cards and an extra dollar to Septembers meeting and you too could walk away with riches like “Nathan”.
