President’s Report: William Bosron
Ø President Bosron welcomed the new members of the Board and introductions were made.
Ø Bill noted that he had met with Dottie Swinney and she is willing to continue working with the Senior Academy. She will do much of her work from home and is open to calls from Board members as needed.
Ø Bill raised the question of whether Park 100 was the place of choice for meetings and whether the time of the meetings could be changed. It was suggested that a start time of 12 noon might be considered. Several members indicated that they could not come if the start time changed to noon. The final consensus was that the time and place remain unchanged – Park 100 with a 10 am start time.
Ø Bill distributed an e-mail from Dean Sukhatme regarding potential volunteer activities for Senior Academy members. Many of the Board members are already involved in volunteer activities for IUPUI and/or their own Departments / Schools. It was suggested that we need to make all members of the Senior Academy aware of the possibilities and channels to initiate/sustain/increase participation.
o We need a way to alert/engage/identify what members are doing or would like to do.
o We need to get information regarding these opportunities on our web site.
o Rosalie, Rebecca, Giles, Art, and Bill agreed to draft a letter to send to SA members regarding opportunities to volunteer.
Ø Bill noted that parking may be negotiable for volunteers and several indicated they had been able to do so. There is a volunteer “A” parking sticker available for $93 as well.
Ø Bill distributed an e-mail from Chancellor Bantz regarding the United Way
o This year’s campaign will run from Sept 16 to Oct 31, 2011
o The Senior Academy goal is to increase donations and volunteers beyond our past, fine level of participation.
o Bill passed around fliers used by other departments/organizations to spread the word about the United Way, identify goals, and encourage participation. We will continue contacting retirees to encourage participation via donations or volunteering.
o The SA web site will be a useful tool: Giles agreed to get the information up on the web site.

Motion to approve the Treasurer’s report (Hoyt/Blake). Motion carried
Leon noted that our $400 application fee for Spirit and Place has been returned to us. Kevin Walsh (IU Foundation) has it as an account credit.

Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Leon Rand. Leon presented the budget report prepared by the Finance Committee. See below.
Motion (committee/Hoyt) that annual and lifetime dues be separated and that lifetime dues be placed in the #52 Senior Academy Account where it can better gain interest income and move toward endowment. Motion carried.
Motion (committee/Hoyt) to increase lifetime dues from $100 to $150 and annual dues from $10 to $15 effective 2012-2013. Motion carried.

*The lifetime dues paid by members for the 2011-2012 year ($600 so far) will be placed into the Senior Academy Foundation Account #52 to ensure that an appropriate lifetime fund will be maintained.
**Cost is shown as a future potential cost to the Senior Academy.
The total budget for 2011-2012 is estimated to be $600 higher than the income. The shortfall for this year will be covered from the checking or Foundation #52 account. As the future lifetime membership dues are moved to the Foundation #52 account, the shortfall will become more pronounced. To cover this, the Finance Committee moves that the Board approve a dues increase from $10/year to $15/year for annual membership; from $100 to $150 for a lifetime membership, effective with the 2012 – 2013 year.
Motion (Hoyt/Mays) to approve the 2011-2012 budget report. Motion carried.
