MID-ATLANTIC CHAPTER WORK PLAN FOR 2008
The chapter officers for 2008 are: Rob Henry, President (GVF Transportation), Tammy Ford, Vice President (DART’s RideShare Delaware), Amy Mathieson, Secretary (ACTA), and Julie Theyerl, Treasurer (DART).
The chapter will hold elections for 2009-2010 in August 2008 and will announce the winners at the ACT National conference.
In order to prepare for chapter activities in 2008, the officers conducted several teleconferences. We have agreed to hold one conference in 2008. The conference will be held in New York City, November 24-25 and will be two full day sessions. We once again will be updating our by-laws and will send them out to the rest of the chapter for a vote. Once the voting is completed we will send our updated by-laws to ACT National for approval.
The chapter will meet periodically throughout the year and they are as follows:
The chapter has set three main goals for 2008:
The chapter has discussed its willingness to work with GRI and ACT National to facilitate a policy trip to Washington D.C.
The chapter will also be offering scholarships to the ACT National conference.
