Treasurer's Report |
Dr. Murphy reviewed the treasurer's report. We ended the year with $4724.62 in the bank and $4772.21 cash on hand.. Roger Carlson CPA has agreed to be our Pro Bono Tax Accountant for Tax Year 2006 | J
Murphy - forward all Tax items for 2006 to Roger Carlson CPA RAllen - will ask Stacy Magic if she will set up Quickbooks for the coalition. |
| Membership Drive |
Discussed preparation of membership drive packets.
|
RAllen - find out where her accountant got the calendars |
| Professional Outreach/ CME's | All
locations have been set up except for the North County location. Need to provide a cultural competency CME - need a PhD or MD to come talk. Kathryn Dettwyler Can we put together a panel discussion on different cultures, i.e. Spanish, Vietnamese, east African? Need to set up 2008 talks. |
NWight - put the cultural CME discussion on the next meeting agenda. |
| Professional Outreach/Online CME's | Goal is to put our CME presentations on the web so that members and non-members can take the courses. This would provide an additional revenue stream. Rita's company can support this effort for little cost to the coalition. Board voted to move forward with this initiative. Nancy had taken the information to Children's CME Board meeting and the response was "not negative". |
RAllen-
Research CEUs online |
| Professional Outreach/Website | Jennifer Neal is our current Webmaster who charges $25/hour to manage email and a perform monthly update of the coalition website and provides hosting for free. When online CME is added it would be advantageous to have our Webmaster locally to work with the CME group. Rita has a colleague who can provide this service locally in a cost effective manner. . Rita's company will donate hosting services. The Board approved this change provided it can be done economically. | RAllen
- contact Jennifer Neff regarding moving the current SDCBC website
to another hosting company. NWight - to contact Jennifer Neal to discuss this change. |

- Conference is August 15-19, Town & Country hotel. Do we want
a booth? What can we give away? Who can man a booth? People will be expecting a conference in 2008 - should we do it in August (breastfeeding month)? |
NWight
- research cost of black/gray bags for giveaway at conference booth. NWight - put conference booth-manning on the agenda for the next meeting. |
| Community Outreach/ Resource Guide | Research
Project: Contact hospitals, Pediatric Groups, AAP local chapter, AAP
national chapter and conduct a survey regarding the resource guide: 1. Are you aware of the resource guide? 2. Do you use the resource guide? 3. How are you using the resource guide? 4. How are you getting the resource guide? 5. Would you be willing to support its printing if we included your logo? 6. Will you include a copy with your discharge packet? Need to print 2008-9 issue. |
NWight - put together a hospital grid so members can split the workload in conducting this survey. |
| Community Outreach/Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace Award | Eyla will be writing an article on last year's winner in "The Resource", a local HR professional publication. Should we purchase another add for $250? |
