IV. CONSTITUTION & BYLAWS
Moderated by Nicklay and Fry
Discussion about how to clarify terms, “annual meeting” and “meetings”. It was decided when the changes are proposed at the RA, the proposed clarification can be presented and voted upon. The proposed language would be “annual meeting” to mean the RA and caucus meeting would be called sessions, not meeting.
There was discussion concerning annual audit. The language would be placed in article 2. The audit will be completed prior to the annual meeting. It was decided that the audit will be done by 3 caucus member whot are not officers. They should be NEAFC members who are present at the RA. It is preferred that the report be presented to the officers in March or April. It will be presented no later than the first meeting at RA.
Procedures and duties for officers will be clarified.

VIII. NEA Performing Arts Task Force
McLaughlin reported on the work done in planning for the December 8, 2010 meeting. A great body of research has been used to help the Task Force design its meeting and agenda. The committee of five will meet twice but will work with each other frequently between the meetings so that the group can accomplish its lofty goal.
IX. NEAFAC Endorsement Process
Discussion was held concerning the questions that will be asked candidates that wish to earn the endorsement of the FAC. The information discussed was from Deb’s document. Some concern was expressed about breaking down some of the questions into too fine an area, and perhaps looking splintered. Also, be sure to include what are you going to do about some of the fine arts educators concerns. Emphasize the partnership of arts and education. It was decided to finalize the questions during the December meeting.
