2020 Annual Meeting:
• Cognizant of the ongoing need for social distancing, The BOD unanimously approved
conducting the 27 July 2020 Annual meeting entirely by mail-in ballot/proxy. The officer
presentations and community forum normally part of the Annual Meeting will occur
during the regular June BOD meeting remotely open to all Association Members via
Zoom. The BOD recognizes that this format is a departure from normal, and that action
by State or County governments could require its modification.
• The BOD unanimously approved a mailing immediately to all Association Members
explaining this plan. Dr. Wolcott will circulate proposed language for this mailing as well
as for the absentee ballot/proxy.
• Three Board positions are expiring this year. Messrs. Palmer and Redmon have
volunteered to be candidates to extend their terms for another two years. Board members
2
will offer recommendations for filling the third expiring position and will coordinate with
the selected candidate(s).
• TMGA will mail the absentee ballots/proxies the first week in July.
Treasurer: The Treasurer reported that financials had been corrected to reflect that funds will be
transferred from the SHA Account to the General operating Fund and Reserve Fund to repay
“loans” made during a bridge period between SHA funds that were in a CD.
Adjournment: At 8:30 pm, a motion was made and passed to adjourn with the next meeting to
