Nanc ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Date: Friday, September 9, 2016 Subject: PYC Communictions To: "Gulley, Nancy" Hi Nancy - Looks like we have another bad situation to work on. I just talked with Chris Weller and told her the decision from last night about the Communications position. Chris is VERY disappointed and I would say VERY upset. She believes that the Board either doesn't understand the position or doesn't care. Here's why. 1. She spends about the same amount of hours that Doyle and I do on club work. She thinks that the Board does realize all that is involved with web site management, emails, and newsletters. She feels that she should be compensated the same as the Treasurer and Secretary. with her dues forgiven and an additional stipend.($1500). 2. She feels that her responsibilities should be recognized in the Constitution the same as the Treasurer and Secretary positions are. Times have changed, and the need for this specialized work has increased dramatically. 3. Yes, there is a description of a "Communications Committee" in the Member Directory. The write-up is not up to date. Also, other people listed on the committee have not done anything towards the communications functions in the past few years other than to manage cameras. etc., which is now a totally different function from communications through the web site and emails. She feels, and I agree, that the Communications Committee mentioned on page 71 of the directory should be removed, since it has not changed in many years. 4. Chris is certain that Board members are not aware of how much work is involved and how much it has impacted. the club. I can remember when attendance was slim and very dull at events. In the past 6 years, Chris' communications have increased interest and have also successfully advertised events either mistakenly listed or not listed in the annual schedule. 5. She feels this is a slap in the face because the position is not recognized properly. For example, the responsibility for newsletters is indicated in the Constitution as a responsibility of the Vice Commodore. Yet Chris has taken this responsibility on herself for years. Nancy, I've worked very closely with Chris for years, and saw her assume these responsibilities and do all this work 6 years ago because she saw the need. I have done all I can to bring this to the Board. I am not a Board member. Nor did they ask Chris to come before the Board to state her case. But I have seen her faithful and consistent work for the benefit of the club and can only worry about her taking this personally since no once seems to go to bat for her. I don't know what happens next but an wondering whether the Board could reconsider their position very very quickly.

And the board will have a better understanding of what the time commitment is for these positions. Also, should we get some numbers for the last 5 years on launch income, # people who pay for the launch service and launch expenses so we can see how much effect the 50% increase in launch fee has the on launch bottom line? We can then use these numbers at the annual meeting.
