President Joseph Uhal at the first 2006-2007 Rochester Chapter Administrative Council meeting at Nazareth College on September 25, 2006.

When the minutes are approved, they will be made available to chapter members. In the meantime, a few personal notes…

• Elaine Montambeau from STC Central NY Chapter joined us on the phone to discuss future cooperation between our chapters. We agreed to exchange web site links and event announcements as a first step, and continue discussions about other possible areas where collaboration could be beneficial to both chapters.
• We began the annual budged process with a request from Treasurer Louise Remington for a detailed breakdown of expenses from last season. Chapter officers and committee managers will provide this information and the discussion will continue at the next council meeting.
• The Proof Sheet is now being published as a blog at www.proof-sheet.org. The blog format has several advantages:
  • Articles can be published more quickly after submission.
  • All articles and columns are stored in a searchable content management system which can be searched by date, title, author, keyword, or category.
  • Readers can easily comment on specific articles as well as provide feedback on the newsletter itself.
  • Authors of regular columns can publish their own material. (Want a bylined clip for your portfolio? This is a great way to start!)
• Joe plans to form a Past Presidents committee to discuss bylaws revision, strategic planning, and coordination of our efforts to compete for the Society’s Distinguished Chapter Award.

Next Council Meeting: October 23

STC-Rochester Administrative Council meetings are held on the 4th Monday of the month. All members are invited to attend.
