FROM: Brenda Hagar, VP Policy and Planning & Strategic Planning

I will not be in attendance at the May EC meeting. I have a prior commitment from September 2013 that has been planned for quite sometime.

VP Policy and Planning – Coordinated and prepared the annual report for publishing. The report has been sent to the printer as of 4/14/14. Copies will be provided when they are made available. Shipment of 50 will be made to the President, 50 to the VP for Policy and Planning and the remainder to National Archives for storage and use in the Regions. This year the annual report went really smooth. Some of the accomplishment write-ups required a lot of work. I thought that making the form more automated it would help but when it restricted their words over 100 it was just submitted in Microsoft Word. That may be an issue that can be taught during a NBOD meeting to the Regional Managers and then be passed to the Chapter Presidents.

I’ve made changes and distributed change pages to the NBOD after a change at the last meeting.

I’ve provided guidance when requested.

STRATEGIC PLANNING - The current Strategic Plan has been sent to the Team Leads for update. It will be published prior to the new VP of Policy and Planning taking office in July.

Strategic Planning teams continue to meet via telecoms, but finding it difficult to get team members to attend meetings.

FROM: Dawn Nester, Vice President for Membership and Chapter Organization

Accomplishments since February 2014 include, but are not limited to:

Working with Karen Rainey, Webmaster, and Robin Sutton, DCG, to identify and correct issues related to members’ log-in, quarterly report submissions, regional manager report submissions, etc.

Worked with Regional Managers to secure chapter quarterly reports for the 1st quarter (January-March 2014) and prepared end-of-quarter report.

Worked with Regional Managers to secure their first RM report submitted on a quarterly basis. This was a change from the bi-monthly reporting period in previous years. The RM reports now follow the chapter quarterly report schedule and are also submitted on-line.

Prepared and submitted for PPRC review a Membership Operations Guide. The guide prepared by the previous Vice President for Membership and Chapter Organization (VPMCO) was inadvertently destroyed, so the Guide was recreated from scratch to serve the incoming VPMCO as a desk reference tool

Began gathering and organizing information related to membership for turnover to the next VPMCO.

Responded timely to calls for review of documents from the PPRC.

Submitted articles to the January and March issues of News and Views, recognizing chapter anniversaries in all regions, as applicable.

Prepared and received an order of materials for new Lifetime members; distributed the plaques and brass ID cards to the three new members; approved the invoice for payment from PromoPartners.com. NOTE: The work with PromoPartners will end with the current VPMCO’s tenure. With the incoming new VPMCO, the vendor will be DCG.

Conducted March and April monthly Regional Managers calls to share information.

Assisted Sue Webster and Marion Stevens, as much as possible, to disseminate information to the Regions about confirmed details of the Leadership Summit on July 11, 2014.

Responded to or forwarded to others for response issues from members, chapter, and/or region officers concerning filing IRS Form 990-N, tax exempt status, webinars, requests for NBOD speakers, training, etc.

Participated with Melvie Hall-Bellinger, VP for Compliance, on a webinar for the DC Metro Region held March 31, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. ET. My topic was Chapter Officer Training. The webinar was hosted by the FEW Foundation for Education and Training and included a practice session for Helen Robinson, DC Metro Region Manager; Melvie; and me with Johanna Altland, FEW Foundation representative, so that the actual presentation the following evening went smoothly.

Arranged for an opportunity for the members of the B. W. Meade Chapter (Mid-Atlantic Region) to share concerns and aspirations for the chapter with me and Cindy Wilson, Regional Manager, on April 16, 2014. No one from the chapter took advantage of the opportunity, with the result it is likely that this chapter will request to close.

Vetted the idea of holding a “Starting a Chapter on a Military Installation” forum via conference call for members whose chapters meet on military installations through Regional Managers and Chapter Presidents. The last two chapters chartered, Gold Vault in Southeast Region and FEW Warriors in Mid-Continent Region, experienced a few hurdles getting their bylaws approved by military commanders, as well as some other issues. The conference call idea was to give members with common experiences an opportunity to talk to one another about what they experienced, how they handled it, and to raise any unique experiences. Members from almost every Region expressed interest in participating in such a conference call. A meeting date with agenda has been set up for May 8th, 7:00 p.m., ET. If successful, other calls will be arranged on topics suggested by the participants, such as have already been suggested to include “How to Successfully Transition from Active Military to Active Federal Service or Civilian Life,” and “How to Make the GI Bill Work for You.”

Notified Michelle Crockett, Wanda Killingsworth, Joan Chopp, and Rae Combs that I would not be able to attend the Executive Committee meeting because of being called for New Hampshire Jury Duty, starting May 14th, for 4-7 weeks. The possibility of sitting on multiple juries precluded an option for out-of-state travel in May and June.

FROM: Sue Webster, Immediate Past President

The following provides an update on my goals and accomplishments as Immediate Past President since October 11-12, 2013.

Past President’s Task Force: Per the National Policy and Procedures Manual, Section VI, Resources, C, 24, I will chair the Past President’s Task Force. This Task Force will provide guidance on the short- and long-range plans of the organization and undertake special projects as needed by the National President and/or National Board of Directors.

Previously I reported that I contacted the Past Presidents via email, letter and phone to get their thoughts on improving communications with the Task Force, engaging them in projects, and finding opportunities for them to assist. They were very responsive and provided thoughts for improving communications. Progress this reporting period included a phone call on December 3, 2013, with President Crockett updating them on the recent events as we know them. Various emails have been forwarded to the Past Presidents in an attempt to inform them of progress and activities.

Youth Outreach: As discussed with the National President, one of my goals was to continue work with the Special Assistant for Outreach and the VP for Membership and Chapter Organization in the area of FEW’s outreach to youth and to the chapters and regions. No Progress to report. Training 2014: As one of the two Chairs for the National Leadership Summit 2014, a great deal of attention has been placed in this area as we understand what this year’s program will include. A meeting was held January 3, 2014, with finance leads and with finance leads and National President, Executive VP, and Sponsorships Chair on January 8, 2014. A meeting was held on January 10, 2014 with Housing Special Assistant and Robin Sutton to discuss facilities for the events. Per discussions at the National Board meeting in February, dates for the events were changed to July 10, 2014 – Advocacy Day; and July 11, 2014 – Summit and Gala Celebration. In addition, a budget was approved at that meeting. The facility is the Washington Court Hotel, 455 Massachusetts Ave #306, Washington, DC 20001. National Event Team meetings have been held on March 12, April 2, April 16, April 30 (planned), May 14 (planned). Team leads have been appointed and a committee is in place with tasks assigned. There has been a good deal of activity in the sponsorship area as well. A special thank you to Sponsor Chair, Naomi Bell for her assistance in this area.

Other Key Responsibility Areas:

Succession Planning: I sent an email to Nominations Chair on September 3, and spoke to her on September 5, 2013, re. succession planning and how I might be able to assist in some way with this effort in the area of succession planning and leadership development as Immediate Past President. She provided excellent feedback.

I am involved as the Immediate Past Chair for the Crane Employee Organizations Team at NSWC Crane. I have presented on behalf of FEW at Onboarding training to new employees representing our local chapter. These opportunities give me the chance to share info on the benefits of participation in employee organizations and how they are able to help an employee learn and grow.

I provided a phone/email interview for the Great Lakes Chapter following the Great Lakes RTP. Authors of the Chapter Newsletter were interested in my perspective now that I am no longer the National President.

At the local level, I serve on the Chapter Executive Committee as the FWP Assistant. In this role, I offer info on the FWP program on behalf of FEW and when at the meetings and any chapter meetings, I do welcome members informally and I engage as a member of FEW. I am still on the FWP committee for FEW but have missed the meetings that have been scheduled due to work conflicts. I served as a member of a panel entitled “FEW in Review” discussing how FEW has helped me personally and professionally. (Suzi Inman also was a member of this panel.) The purpose was to encourage chapter members and others to become engaged as we move into elections at the local level and to look for new committee members.

I participate with an informal luncheon group (Powerful Women’s Luncheon) attending luncheons to discuss our experiences at NSWC Crane with new employees to help them “learn the ropes” and give them someone they can call if they need someone.

I supported and attended the Great Lakes Regional Training Program and Board meeting in Indianapolis, IN, on October 24-25, 2013. I attended the Hoosier Hills Chapter annual Christmas party on December 9, 2013. Donations are collected for many surrounding facilities needing support such as women’s shelters, animal shelters, etc.

I support the National President and National Board as needed and will mentor board members and other FEW members as needed. If there is anything needed, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Strategic Planning: I am sharing ideas with various appropriate members of the National Board including the National President in the area of Strategic Planning area.

FWP Team: I have had work conflicts when these meetings are scheduled so have missed these during the past few months. I participate in these calls as my schedule permits. This remains a topic I am very interested in and I have had conversations with the Special Assistant for the FWP to keep up to date. I have been assigned as the FWPM (collateral duties) at my agency and my efforts with FEW continue to help me with this effort.

Fiscal Security: Finance Team: I serve as a member of the Finance team. I participated in meetings during the Executive Committee activities in October and in Finance Call meetings held on December 21, 2013, January 25, 2014, March 29, 2014, and during the Semi-annual NBOD meeting in Atlanta. I also plan to participate in the special board meeting scheduled for May 8, 2014.

Diversity and Inclusion: I serve on the Crane Diversity Council and serve as the rep for the Federal Women’s Program. I served on the team for my department coordinating the display for the annual Day of Diversity Display held on April 29, 2014.

I have been honored to continue to serve our National President, FEW and our members this 2012-2014 term.
