Old
Business
The proposed contract that was presented by Tim
Horton’s was reviewed. Suggested
changes were made as necessary and will be presented to Tim Horton’s for
approval.
The executive board reviewed the approved motion of
the house board to allow 2 associate members to serve on the board.
The executive board rejected this motion.
The executive board would like every SMAHL member
actively involved.
Fund raising activity was reviewed by the executive
board and the interpretations of how it relates to the SMAHL non-profit status
was unclear. The main point that
could be agreed upon is that no one single individual should derive benefit
from the fund raising activity. All
funds should be kept at the team level.
