[Missouri-l] Board Conference Call

[Denny Huff, (MCB - A Great Place To Be)]

The MCB board met via conference call last night and made several major
decisions.  The call lasted approximately two and a half hours.  I sincerely
appreciate all that participated in the conference and the input they had.

 

We approved three new members at large which brings our total membership to
787.

The board also approved Janelle Edwards as the new Adaptive Technology Grant
chair.  Janelle replaces Franklin Johnson in this position.  My thanks to
Franklin for serving in this capacity for the past five years.

The board also voted to reduce the rate for mileage that we are currently
paying.  It was decided to keep in line with the state of Missouri's mileage
rate which is currently $0.50 per mile.  The rate that MCB had been paying
was $0.60 per mile and by reducing it by $0.10 per mile this will save us
several thousand each year.

The board also approved a revision of the Executive Director job description
and the salary range.  The job description will be posted to our web site
soon for your viewing.  The salary range for the E.D. is $40,000.00 to
$50,000.00 annually depending on experience.

The board also approved a new position for MCB.  This position is a Field
Marketing Representative.  This position focuses on fund raising for MCB.
The job description will also be posted on our web site.  The salary range
for this position will be $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 annually depending on
experience.

Application for both positions will be released today and will run through
September 30.

 

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call me.

 

Thanks again to the board for their time and patience in last nights
conference.
