NCCA Planning Meeting

8 April 2005

New Officer Potentials

• Joan and Sue connected with Jeff - interested in contributing somehow but not necessarily an officer role
• Joan will contact Carmen
• Sue observed that there's a lot of professional groups in Northern Colorado that haven't lived for too many years - maybe a matter of critical mass?
• Susan G
• The local ASTD seems to have a lot of energy right now
• There's groups which naturally expire when it's not possible to find a strong, motivated leader

Future of the NCCA

• The DCF has SIG meetings and then a formal meeting - not so much emphasis on networking.  The new president has more energy around the ICF members, and a minority of members are ICF members.  They'll be discussing it in May.
• The BCA is fairly disconnected from the ICF changes, about 20% of the members are ICF members
• Process:
  • Setting the ground rules
  • Reminder of need for new officers
  • Describing the fork in the road, what it means to stay affiliated with the ICF
  • Purposes for a professional organization
  • Check-in: What draws you to this organization, and what do you want to see in the future?
  • Highlight the difference between the Back Porch Gang approach and ICF chapter approach
  • Discussion: Pros and Cons of staying affiliated with the ICF
  • Drive towards possible decision
  • Proposal on what we will/might do with the money in our bank account
  • Identification of new leadership role(s)
• ACTION: Carl to see if we can find out exactly what the requirement is for ICF members to be working toward their credentials
• ACTION: Sue to bring the list of ICF chapter requirements to the meeting
• Next steps after 21 April meeting
  • Clear decision by the NCCA leaders on the redirection/termination of the NCCA
  • Decision on what to do with the money in our bank account
  • Possible vote by the membership (if we're rewriting the charter)
  • Possible rewriting of charter or writing of new one
  • First membership meeting in the new form
