[ADXA] 1st Quarterly Meeting Update

[Joel Harrison]

I forgot to attach the presentation file. I just did and resent it in
another email but it appears to be clogged in the server with the
attachment. We'll see if it comes through, if not I'll upload it to my
website so you can download.

> I enjoyed seeing everyone Saturday in Russellville at our 1st Quarterly
> Meeting of 2018. We had excellent attendance at our forum and our meeting.
> Thanks to everyone for attending. It is especially refreshing to have the
> support and attendance of our ARRL Delta Division Director K5UZ, Delta
> Division Vice Director WB4RHQ and Arkansas Section Manager N5LKE
>
> Some of you have asked for a copy of my forum presentation in order to
> have the internet links I mentioned. It is attached.
>
> During our business meeting we took action on three items. First, the
> Executive Committee presented a proposal that was approved to fund the 3B7
> St. Brandon DXPedition for $100.
>
> The next two items were proposals from the Executive Committee to revise
> our Articles of Association pertaining to honorary members. We currently
> have two levels of honorary membership, an "Honorary Life Membership" and
> an "Honorary Membership".
>
> Honorary Life Membership is detailed in Article 3 (d.) and allows for any
> active member 75 years of age and having 15 years of previous paid
> membership to be considered for this. The last sentence of this Article
> prevented an Honorary Life Member from having the rights and/or benefits
> of a full or associate member. The Executive Committee believed, and the
> members present unanimously agreed, that this sentence penalized a person
> who has been very active in ADXA, has paid a minimum of 15 years dues to
> ADXA and is an asset to the organization. The motion presented from the
> EC, and unanimously approved by the membership present, deletes the last
> sentence of Article 3 (d.) therefore allowing an Honorary Life Member to
> have full membership rights.
>
> Honorary Membership is detailed in Article 3 (e.) and limits an Honorary
> Member to just one year. The Executive believed there may be situations
> arise where we want to bestow an Honorary Membership for more than one
> year, or reconsider an Honorary Members term each year and therefore
> proposed to eliminate the words "....for one (1) year...." from Article 3
> (e.). The motion was unanimously approved.
>
> Prior to our meeting I sent an email to this reflector asking that we
> discuss a prorated dues structure for new, first time members who may have
> an interest DX and a desire to join ADXA mid-year or later. I did not have
> a specific proposal, it was just brought up for discussion. It was pointed
> out at the meeting that the President (me) should maybe read the Articles
> of Association more frequently :-)) as such a provision already exists in
> the last sentence of Article 5! It was clarified that this prorated
> membership fee would be $6 per quarter.
>
> Thanks again for everyone attending. It was very good to see each of and
> and I look forward to our 2nd Quarter Meeting in June in the Fort Smith
> area.
