To Delegates of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Partnership Committee- RPC
 
On Saturday, Oct. 16, the delegates to the RPC met briefly and discussed: how we should
 elect a chair, set responsibilities for the chair, define a decision making process and/or voting process, frequency and location of meetings, agenda topics, a communication process to the clubs and others, a charge for the committee and how to select candidates for the Stewardship Council.
Frank Bohn, CVATC will develop a charge for the committee.
Dan Schwartz will develop a plan for selecting candidates to the Stewardship Council.
Committee members are requested to e-mail a brief bio of their background to the committee.
The group determined that they were not prepared to make any other decisions until the next meeting of the committee.
In the interim, Thyra Sperry, Vice-Chair Mid-Atlantic Region, volunteered to temporarily chair the committee until the 2005 ATC conference. The committee members present agreed to this plan. Thyra agreed to set up the next meeting in Boiling Springs and to send out possible meeting dates.
 
We can begin with considering the following meeting dates which are all Saturdays unless members are available during the week. Please let me know your preferences.
Saturday, November 13
Saturday, January 15, 22, 29,
Saturday, February 5
Perhaps 10:00 A.M. to 4 P.M. may work for most members. Please respond if you have another idea.
 
I will arrange lunch.
 
The following is a list of the names and e-mails of the committee members. Some are the primary delegates and others are the alternates. I need the e-mail addresses of PATC members who will take office in January. They are Bruce Glendening, 2005 V.P. of Operations and alternate Lee Sheaffer V.P. of Volunteerism.
