Return to CURC Minutes
CURC Steering Committee
January 3, 2001 Conference Call Minutes
Present: Julie Aplington, Craig Barry, Pat Chase, Dale Ekart, Pam Flattich,
Krista Henkels, Pete Pasterz, Erica Spiegel,
Not Present: Jack DeBell, Rob Gogan, Kurt Teichert, Keefe Harrison
1. Regional
Budget/Income
Regionals
have both lost and made money. When money is made, it can
provide for additional budget money for CURC’s
work plan. Dale isn’t sure at this time what revenue or cost we
might incur with regionals this year. NRC (Rebecca and Luke) is working
on the budgets and Dale has not yet seen numbers. Based on past experience,
we shouldn’t count on significant revenue from the series. Sponsors
and registrations are the sources of income. Extra effort is being made
to identify sponsors nationally and locally. Also more and more timely
information is being distributed to push attendance numbers. National
sponsorship has ranged from $5,500 8,300, local from $3500 10000 (in-kind,
cash and exhibitor fees), registration $2,000 6,000.
2. Budget
Pete
has a total of about $2000 in work plan costs at this time (Purchasing
and Membership). Uncertain where our regular membership
brochure is charged… In the past we have not been charged for this
printing. Craig will confirm this is still the case. We should add $400
$600 each for printing of toolkits, cookbooks, etc. Would be good to
have cookbooks/toolkits posted on the “members only” web
site and available for downloading and printing. At this point there
are two cookbooks: Education and Nuts & Bolts. Pete will add $1000
to budget for these. Pam would like to add $400 for potential intern
fees to source and format “recipes” for the Education Cookbook.
Pete believes some of the clerical, organizational and “time” spent
on these projects could be handled through our NRC staff allotment. However,
we need to identify staff person, time and task in our work plan. Pete
will follow up with Kurt regarding costs for changes to and development
of CURC web site. Cost for booth at National should be included, $350
was budgeted last year. Should discuss with NRC possibility of combining
council booths with NRCs booth to give the consistency/togetherness to
councils, showcase NRCs councils and potentially eliminate booth cost
(though furniture rental would still be apply). Krista will locate spending
from last years Congress workshop and talk to Rebecca about expected
cost for Seattle. Should allocate some “marketing” money
to contribute to projects we hope to do with other/outside groups (APPA,
Campus Ecology, Etc.).
3. Membership
CURC
should sit down with NRC to talk about their membership development
plans and/or efforts through ROs to determine how CURC can
work with and benefit from these efforts.
