University-College.
Opening Remarks:

Association.
The Agenda was approved
Welcome to Special Guest:
Scott MacGregor introduced by Sonja. He is presently the Association’s
Website Technical Support on a volunteer basis. Scott gave an overview
of how the website works. He explained that the website is a valuable
and effective tool in advertising and communicating the Association.
When considering an item for the website, Scott suggested determining
a basic standard of recognizing Who, What, Where, When, and Why? He also
suggested that a link be provided whenever possible to keep the website
simple and easy to follow for our readers.
From analysis of the site, Scott has determined the majority of its readers
are University and/or College students and other Child and Youth Care
Professionals, so this is the general audience to appease.
Discussion:
Margaret brought forward some examples of enquiries she has been
receiving through her link on the web page and it was determined by all
that this process will continue.
Amanda discussed Youth Shout Out and open discussion occurred on its validity
for the CYCABC website. It was decided to go ahead with Youth Shout Out
and Amanda gave out flyers for everyone in meeting.
Tania gave an overview of Roberts Rules of Orders. During this conversation,
Margaret M. moved that the secretary, Amanda C., be granted permission
to buy a study guide on Roberts Rules to be passed on throughout future
secretaries. This motion was seconded by Karen J. As all were in favor,
Amanda C. will purchase a text for the next meeting.
Unfinished Business Updates
Fall College and University Drives
Amanda has made a contact with UCFV (Maple Melder Crozier) via email.
Karen, Margaret , and Darri put on a short demonstration at Malaspina
in Nanaimo and are working on doing one at the Cowichan Campus.
Tania has agreed to be the contact for University of Victoria. Margaret
will maintain her status of being their email contact and gradually direct
them to Tania for a smooth transition.
Sonja will continue to be contact for Douglas and Selkirk.
Break for Lunch
Open Discussion
Margaret brought forward suggestions of creating a smaller agenda
and having more frequent meetings to enhance the group process and make
for a more cohesive working team. After debate, all agreed.
Conference
Tania shared highlights of her trip to Calgary for the CYC Conference.
Due to a time shortage, Tania stated she would bring forward notes of
the lectures and photocopies of some of the handouts that she received
to the next CYCABC meeting. Tania worked with the Canadian Council and
has joined onto a team dealing with Core Competencies. She shared that
there is a lot of support coming from the Canadian Council towards our
provincial association.
Sonja brought up that at the next meeting, we will have to determine the
status of our membership to pay the $5 per member fee to the Canadian
Council.
Restoration Process
Tania announced that we are in full society standing and can
continue to recruit new members at the current standing membership fees.
New Business
Membership
Amanda gave a summary of her progress thus far on the membership
database, membership cards and membership mailing system.
Karen J. moved that the mailing address be changed to her home address
for bank statements as it has been too difficult to keep current records
with the mail going to the Secretary. Amanda C. seconded this motion and
all were in favor of the decision to change the address, for the sole
purpose of the bank statements. All other mail will remain directed to:
521 Milton Street
