Absent: Audrey Kelly, John Antunes, Jason DeRosa, Jessica McMahon, Pat Morris
Meeting Time: 6:20-8:20pm
Meeting Agenda: Talk about upcoming events that Nespi is planning for the fall of 2010 and Spring of 2011. Dues-Fund raisers-classes.
6:20-7:00 Working on wrapping up some investigations and scheduling more. Bill Martin has many locations that he has asked and is awaiting permission from board of trustees to gain access to these establishments.
7:00-7:30 How Dues will be collected for the 2010 calender year. We have decided that they will be collected "Quarterly" to make it easy on the members and the staff. Also talk about how important keeping up with your dues are and what NESPI uses the due money for.
7:30-8:20 Gathered information from team members that were on the last investigation and talked about that investigation. Also getting team "T-Shirts" the only downfall is you have to be current with your dues in order to obtain a shirt. Also if you have too many unexcused absences and are not paying dues we will have no choice but to removed that individual as a team member. We also discussed our coming investigation and where we might take the EVP Reseachers outing with Mr. Martin and also coming investigations. Talked about the "ranks" of NESPI and how you begin as a reseacher no matter what your prior knowledge is and move up the ranks to Lead Investigator. This is what makes it fair to all our members to get the same shot at advancement within the group.
