and Margaret Balint
Lynn Abrahamson called the meeting to
order at
Treasurer’s Report: The present balance is $4007.29. We have received dues from 5 renewals of
membership since our annual meeting (
President’s Report: We have received a letter of resignation from Beth
Strimpel. As she is moving out of
state she can no longer participate in CAPHN activities. Her resignation leaves a Member-at-Large
position open on the Executive Board.
Committee Reports:
Membership: Margaret reviewed arrangements made with Virginia to
keep track of those who renew and new members.
After the annual meeting,
Discussion occurred and a policy will be piloted.
The goal is to reach out to new members.
Nurses returning or renewing their membership will receive a letter that
will include a membership card valid for the year (May 1st to April
30th the following year).
Each new member will receive a letter of welcome with a membership card
enclosed. They will also receive a telephone call
from a member of the membership committee or the Executive Board to welcome
them, and attempt to support them in their public health nursing role (mentoring
them if necessary). Also during this
phone call, we will ask them to join one of our subcommittees.
As Margaret has been elected secretary for CAPHN, the Membership Committee chair
is presently Heather Henning. A new
co-chair can be appointed by the President.
Education Committee: Debbye
Rosen has stepped down as co-chair of the education committee. Monica Farina remains as the chairperson. As one of the functions of the Vice
President of CAPHN, Andrea coordinates program for all meetings. The Education Committee and Andrea work
closely together. Andrea made the
suggestion that each of the committee members be assigned to take the lead on
one educational meeting a year.
Debbye Rosen has been handling the meetings about Influenza both the Update in
the fall and the Roundtable in the spring.
Hopefully she will continue to do this.
Monica Farina has coordinated the annual meeting.
Again, hopefully, she will agree to be the lead on this meeting again this year. That leaves 2 more quarterly meetings. Discussion ensued on what other topics
would be of interest and would fit into these meeting. The three most prominent ideas were the
new lead requirements from
Finance Committee: No
report. See Treasurer’s report.
Nursing Practice Committee: See
upcoming CT Department of Public Health event in Additional Activities.
Website Committee: Kathleen
Cooper-McDermott and Deborah Horvath agreed to work with our current webmaster

with reviewing our website, identifying needs and priorities. They will also contact website management
companies and review how they can respond to these needs and priorities. Recommendations shall be made to the
President and the Executive Board.
The gatekeeper for the website has been and will continue to be the current
Secretary.

Sartucci to review their recommendations for updating the Bylaws of the
organization.
