(a) FORCM(Ret) Slingerland made opening remarks and welcomed all present.
(b) Minutes from the June Board of Directors meeting were approved by unanimous vote.
(c) Treasurer’s Report. Balance: $9004.71.
(d) Membership Update. Total membership for the chapter is 1269 personnel. The annual growth rate for the Chapter is 3%. We need to continue to push membership, especially during the closing remarks of professional luncheons. It is also important to seek out surface leaders to join and promote the professional events of the Chapter.
(e) June Events Review. (1) June Luncheon. ADM Harvey’s remarks were led to a good discussion and question/answer session. It was obvious that people came out to hear from the leadership and also express concerns and questions from the fleet. (2) MIDN picnics. The picnics have been well attended by midshipmen and the crews of the ships that were embarked. HRSNA has three boxes of items to give away at future picnics. LCDR Lorio will send an email reminder the day before the upcoming picnics with the specific time to encourage more SNA support. (3) SWO Detailer Spouse Join-Up. There were 18 personnel in attendance at the join-up, to include a few spouses that were not accompanied by the service member. While that number seems low, the efforts of SNA helped get the word out to officers in the area and the event saw increased attendance from the last visit.
(f) Departed BoD Members. Certificates of appreciation and HRSNA pens will be presented to HMC Amy Modglin, HMCS Brian Hock, and IT1 Grisel Encarnacion at the August luncheon. LCDR Lorio has the certificate template and will get these made and framed for the presentation.
(g) Luncheons. Prospective speakers for the August luncheon are VADM Holloway and RDML Kraft. HMCM Modglin will engage to determine interest and availability. Other potential speakers for upcoming luncheons are RDML(Sel) Gale, ADM Buzby, MCPOCG Leavitt, Navy Public Affairs, and a Shipyard representative (TJ – BAE). (2) Vista Point has increased fees for the luncheons; the new cost per plate is $13.80. In order to avoid the room fee of $300, we need to reserve for approximately 90 attendees. After engaging with National, Fred Berck proposed new costs for luncheon attendees. The following prices were approved by the board: E6 and below - $7; E7 and above - $12; Retired/Civilian - $15. (3) There will not be a Navy League presentation of a cutlass at the July luncheon; the next drawing will be at the August luncheon. (4) There was renewed discussion about holding an occasional luncheon at Little Creek. With the increased costs at Vista Point, we should revisit the costs associated with hosting a luncheon at Little Creek. GSE1 Bradshaw will gather the data from Little Creek and provide to Fred Berck so that we can have a more detailed discussion on the topic.
(h) CPO Induction Season. Events have been added to the calendar. CAPT(Ret) Turner suggested an HRSNA-sponsored literary competition with a monetary prize for the winner. HMCM Modglin offered that a similar event was conducted in a couple years ago. HMCM will discuss with HMCS Davis to present a proposal at the next BoD meeting.
(i) Website Info. YNC Turner has done a great job getting the website updated and ensuring accurate, relevant, and timely info is displayed for all users. With the USCG birthday in August, we should add some info such as messages to the force from the MCPOCG and Commandant.
(j) The next quarterly SITREP is due 30 September to National.
