Board Minutes
By Bob Swenson, Secretary

MANHATTAN CHAPTER SPEBSQSA, INC.    REGULAR BOARD MEETING - November 10, 2003, WESTBANK TOWNHOMES CLUBHOUSE

Call to Order:  President Rodney Stanfield called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. with the singing of "My Wild Irish Rose".

President's Message:  President Stanfield indicated that he has not been able to get a director's compensation committee appointed but needs help in doing so.  Ken Brooks and Ken Lyle volunteered to help in this capacity.  Rodney also expressed concern about his inability to find men capable of working as uniform chairman and on the property committee.  He indicated he was willing to take suggestions for both of these.  During the discussion that followed there was mention also that the Chapter badly needs a house committee in order to be better prepared for each of our meeting nights.  Rodney indicated he was beginning to have second thoughts about his ability to perform ade-quately as president for the next year due to a very heavy workload at his daytime job.  After some discussion, it was moved by Bob Ridley, with a friendly amendment by Ken Brooks, and seconded by Harvey Kiser that the board accept, with regret, President Stanfield's resig-nation from the office of President for his 2004 term. Motion passed.
