WSCPA Board Meeting
Executive
Director’s Report

April 18, 2004
WSCPA
Board Meeting –
April 19, 2004
at the
Pasco
Red Lion:
I have received the Treasurer’s Report and the
Region 5 Report and
added copies to this Report.
Pasco
Conference:
We have 48 full and 3 1-day registrations going into the Pasco
Spring Conference. Numbers are down due to poor budgets. We have
scheduled
the first lunch with the Vendors and hope to have a program session as
part of the first lunch. We have Mastercard, Black Knight Graphics,
Medeco, NCPC, and NEXTEL coming in for the conference. The
curriculum is set and I have included a conference budget summary as
the last page of this report. The board needs to acknowledge the Pasco
Police Department for work in putting together the conference.
WSCPA
Awards:
The awards have been selected and the award winners notified by
Randy Chapman. The awards themselves will be brought over by Gerald W.
Abernathy.
WSCPA
Elections:
I received a telephone call from
Shelby
. We are playing telephone tag and
I will try again before I leave for
Pasco
on Monday. At this time I have received an application for Treasurer
and that is it. I will check with all the board members to see if they
want to run again. The office has sent a letter asking for people to
apply for a board position but no one has sent in an application.
WSCPA
Website:
The website is being looked at by a number of computer savvy
people with
the intent of upgrading the website. We are looking at a
complete facelift
and finding out what it might cost. We look forward to any ideas or
help
we can find. A lot of pictures will be taken during the conference. We
will post a newsletter focusing on the conference
and conference award winners as soon as we can.
We hope to add some new features to add motion to
the website. We are looking at fixing any spelling mistakes and fixing
the margins on the left
side so documents aren’t cut off.
I spoke to Steve Rittereiser and the office is
now keeping the most current edition of the By-Laws.
NCPC
Conference:
An initial organizational meeting was held at the Seattle
Renaissance Hotel. NCPC has selected this site over others because of
it’s location to
downtown
Seattle
and the waterfront. NCPC gave out the dates of
October 20-22, 2004
for the conference. WSCPA will be asked to
help with the on-site activities and advertising. We have been asked
to
invite our Governor and other VIP’s to participate in the
conference.
NCPC is going to print the conference flyers and
have reminders for the
Spring Conference. We will have enough for everyone to hand out at
meetings as a reminder for the conference. Daryl has been asked to
give
a report at the Law Enforcement Executive Forum and to give a report
at
both the WASPC Sheriff’s and Police Chief’s meeting.
40 Hour
Basic in
Spokane
:
Sandy Richards has 15 people signed up for the class which is the
first
week of May in
Spokane
. Fees are being collected at this time. Sandy
hopes to have another 5 people sign up for the class.
Brion
Schuman Scholarship Program:
A team of
Whitman
College
students were asked to make the first review
of 23 scholarship applications. They were given a short class on what
the criteria was for the scholarship and they were asked to review the
applications under this criteria. They did an excellent job cutting
the
first group down to the top four. I read these applications and had to
agree with their selection.
I then asked Chief Chuck Fulton, Captain Terry
Heisey and Prospect
Point Principal Rick Nebeker to read these applications and to rate
them
1-4. All three came back with Tiana Estes from
Central
Washington
University
as their top choice. The office is trying to contact Tiana and
tell her that she has won the Brion Schuman Scholarship and to see if
she
could ride over from Ellensburg for the WSCPA Awards Program.
