Minutes of 3/10/06

Present: Andrea Lombard, Debbie Horvath, Barbara Quigley, Barb Dingfelder, Lynn Abrahamson, Margaret Balint, Beth Strimpel, Heather Henning

The meeting was called to order at 11:20 AM by Lynn Abrahamson in the absence of Phil Greiner.

There were no treasurer’s report or minutes for review.

Education Committee

It was agreed that the flu conference was well received, and that copies of the recommendations from each workgroup should be forwarded to participants, under CAPHN’s letterhead and nameplate. Suggested was a two page summary of key topics, action steps and recommendations. It should be sent to attendees and sponsoring organizations.

Annual meeting - a flyer will be sent out through the HAN. Debbie will email to membership. It was also suggested that it be made available to the school nurses, possibly through Joan Cagginello, who is also a CAPHN member. Andrea and Barbara D. will provide a computer and projector for the A/V slides for  the Chuck Motes presentation.

Unfinished Business

The Annual meeting ad is running in the CT Nursing newspaper. Also, there is a $100 for a booth at the Parish Nurse meeting in April. Motion was made by Beth to approve the expenditure of $100 to have space at the conference. Motion was seconded by Barb Dingfelder and passed unanimously. Margaret will attend the meeting to represent CAPHN.

Nominating Committee

It was suggested that we re-examine the committee structure for CAPHN and define the responsibilities of committee members, especially the education committee. We will address that at the next board meeting.

New Business

A Children’s Health Summit is scheduled for Friday, June 16. More information to follow. Also, Lynn is attending a meeting today with CT Parks and Forests.

Next Executive Board Meeting

Next board meeting will be 4/4/06 at CT Nurses Association at 8:30 AM.

Respectfully Submitted,

Debbie Horvath, APRN

Secretary, CAPHN
