ARTS Involvement (FYI)

Betsy presented an update advising the ARTS is working on development of a new logo/slogo and will be holding a Trail In dance at the Springfield, MA NSDC. Part of their efforts is obtaining funds. Jerry Reed advised there is an educational grant program now available through the ARTS. Also there Jim and Judy Taylor will be presenting a session during the convention regarding the new logo and slogo as well as promotional materials. Jerry suggested everyone go to the ARTS website to see what the ARTS is doing (www.arts-dance.org) Betsy emphasized that every BOG member needs to promote the ARTS and let people know what the ARTS is about.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Most Committee Reports were presented to the BOG several weeks before the BOG meeting for their review. Chairman Clasper asked if anyone had any questions regarding these reports. None were presented. Definitions Committee-Clark Baker presented a report for the Definitions Committee. No questions were presented. Professional Conduct Committee-Elmer Sheffield reported that two issues had been received during the past year and both were handled by the committee. Past Chairman’s Committee had no report. Youth Activities Committee: Barry asked for more information regarding the Youth Activities on line youth caller training sessions. Justin explained that the committee is working on trying to develop the business plan that would allow the videos of caller’s schools similar to “distance” learning process using Skype, You Tube, and other media formats. Barry noted some universities and colleges are doing “distance” type classes and that perhaps that they could be contacted to see how this work. Barry noted that his son is working at a university doing this same type of process and recommended that perhaps we contact to see how this could be set up. It was also noted that perhaps this should be open and not limited to just youth callers. Choreographic Application Committee: Barry asked Dottie to explain the committee’s project regarding an online teaching document. Dottie explained that this will be an online source of calls, definitions, standard applications, teaching aids, modules and so forth that caller could review before teaching. Also some choreographic examples could be included. Barry asked if the plans included materials for a party night and advised that it would using some materials from the Community Dance Program.

OLD BUSINESS Hand Styling

From the minutes of the 2013 BOG meeting: Wade made a request of the EC to re-establishing the styling committee for the purposes of re-visiting CALLERLAB’s stand on hand position in an ocean wave. The reason for this is that the “regional differences are becoming so many that it is confusing to dancer and caller alike. Also, with the age level of the activity growing as it has, the “hands up” position is becoming more and more unacceptable. He felt that CALLERLAB needs to make a definitive statement relative to this matter and can do so only after proper due diligence. In 2013, the EC assigned this project to the Definitions Committee asking they establish an Ad Hoc Styling Committee to review this issue along with other styling issues. At the 2014 BOG meeting, Clark advised that after review, it was determined there was very little their committee could do with this project. Bear Miller indicated that he had discussed with Justin Russell and they are investigating preparing some type of report on hand styling with emphasis on eliminating “thumb locks”. Bear presented a report that he and Justin were unable to start this project but still hope to do so. It was agreed to leave on future agenda.

Condensed 12 Lesson Teach system – Tim Marriner

From the minutes of the 2013 BOG meeting Tim provided a report of a project that Elmer Sheffield envisioned. In 2012 Elmer was able to arrange a joint meeting with members of ACA with representatives of CALLERLAB. The result of that meeting was that both organizations work on a proposed teach order that could be taught in 12 lessons creating a shorter entry to square dancing. Status: Tim Marriner provided a report of progress since the project was presented last year. During the 2015 Convention, Bill Harrison and Jerry Story presented a session on condensed teaching systems and the effects of such teaching methods. Tim also advised that the revised document is now available with teach tips, applications, arrangements and abbreviated definitions so now it is more like a booklet. Tim advised that this topic should now be dropped from future agendas. Barry asked if there were any more reports of those that are using this system and Bill Harrison advised that he knew of several including his own group that are having good success with the condensed methods.

International Membership Recruiting Drive – Walt Burr

From the minutes of the 2013 BOG meeting Walt presented an idea from the International Advisory Committee meeting asking the BOG to consider ways to recruit international members. After discussion, Tim asked that Walt develop a report of the committees’ ideas and present to the EC for consideration. Walt Burr provided a report to the EC advising his idea of creating an outreach program that would promote CALLERLAB to overseas callers and present educational information similar to a Mini Lab but also promoting CALLERLAB. The EC has asked Walt to chair an ad hoc committee to determine what types of programs would be of benefit to the European callers as well as other countries.

Walt explained his research and how he set up a working ad hoc committee. Question specifically was what would make you want to join CALLERLAB. Primary reasons they gave for not joining

Page 6: CALLERLAB BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING - Minutes March … · CALLERLAB . BOARD OF GOVERNORS . MEETING - Minutes . March 29-April 1 . University Plaza Hotel . Springfield, MO (Approved

was there was nothing they needed as they can get what they wanted from the website. Questions they had were why can’t we vote electronically? Why does it take so long for CALLERLAB to do anything? There is a lack of CALLERLAB visibility in international dance communities. Walt believes the perception of CALLERLAB is that international callers see CALLERLAB is an American controlled organization and their opinions don’t mean anything to CALLERLAB. Walt did not believe cutting dues would be an incentive for people to join. The BOG discussed the possibility of creating a Public Relations Committee to not only promote CALLERLAB in overseas countries but also in North America.

Publication Application Form Procedures – Barry Clasper On February 19, 2014 Barry presented his proposed Publication Application Form. The BOG discussed at the 2014 BOG meeting. The BOG asked Barry to present a flow chart of how the procedures will work. Status, Barry advised he had not made any progress on this issue but still plans to do so this will remain on agenda for next year.

Overseas Dues Structures-Deborah Carroll-Jones In 2014, Deborah addressed that there are several callers in Europe and other countries that do not belong to CALLERLAB and suggested an idea of offering these callers a dues restructuring for membership. Jon Jones suggested, for a two year trial, to reduce dues to overseas callers to $50. He proposed the Home Office then contact each overseas member and ask they recruit another member from their area. It was pointed out that the EC did create a new incentive to affiliated organizations to encourage their members to join. So far no one has taken advantage of this incentive. Again the BOG discussed Public Relations and possibility do an advertising campaign as well as develop new incentives. Jon clarified that the recommendation was to offer the incentive as a trial for a two years. This would be offered to current members to recruit a new member to receive a $50 reduction in their dues and the person that they recruited would receive their dues at $50 for their first year. Ideas also included researching translation issues. Tim Marriner presented the following motion:

Motion: Be It Resolved That the Executive Committee investigate the possible items and report to the BOG their recommendations and findings. 1) Research development of a Public Relations committee/ad hoc. 2) Research incentive to recruit international members 3) Research how to resolve language barriers. Motion seconded and approved.

Recruiting new callers

At the 2014 BOG Meeting, Jerry Jestin suggested that perhaps we should be emphasizing recruiting new callers and with the intent new callers would likely create new clubs and recruit new dancers. Jerry asked the BOG to discuss and perhaps brainstorm ideas how to find new callers. A suggestion was made to include a session at next year’s convention how to recruit new callers. In addition, it was suggested that the Caller Training Committee be tasked with framing the issue and provide a structure for a convention session next years.

Page 7: CALLERLAB BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING - Minutes March … · CALLERLAB . BOARD OF GOVERNORS . MEETING - Minutes . March 29-April 1 . University Plaza Hotel . Springfield, MO (Approved

The EC did schedule a session on Recruiting New Callers at the 42nd CALLERLAB Convention and Jerry expressed his appreciation for establishing this session. He addressed what he was hoping that this session would provide ideas for how to better recruit callers to the activity. He advised that those present kept going back to recruiting from our present dancers rather than outside of the dance activity. Ideas did include working with home school groups and competition groups.

NEW BUSINESS Presented Resolutions

The Board approved endorsing a resolution that will be presented to the membership at the annual membership meeting, Wednesday April 1, 2015. This resolution is added to the agenda for any further discussion by the BOG before the Wednesday meeting.

Proposed Bylaw Change-Jerry Reed

[Start Proposed change] WHEREAS it is important that the Bylaws be clear regarding funds which are due to CALLERLAB, MOTION - Be It Resolved That: The following sentence be added to the end of ARTICLE II. Section 3. (A). "Notwithstanding any termination of membership, all sums due to the corporation from any Member shall be due and remain a debt in favor of the corporation and shall be enforceable against the Member or his estate." [End Proposed Change]

After considerable discussion, Clark Baker made a motion to withdraw the proposed resolution from consideration at the annual meeting. Motion seconded and approved. Additional motion was made from Jerry Jestin that the Executive Committee request the Resolution Committee to clarify the wording of the original motion to incorporate discussion presented by the BOG meeting. Motion seconded and approved.

BOG Recruiting Work Groups

Barry explained that this project was in response to previous requests by the BOG to engage the Board more in brainstorming and information gathering. The EC’s idea was to identify where we could possibly find individuals that may step forward to become a caller. Four working groups were created and submitted reports and these reports were presented to the BOG and discussed. Barry thanked the committees and their assigned leaders for their work.

1) Competition – Barry suggested we go to organizers of competition groups and present basic

question on how to get people into these competitions, what is it about competition that attract youth, how to make it interesting for people to want to be involved.

Page 8: CALLERLAB BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING - Minutes March … · CALLERLAB . BOARD OF GOVERNORS . MEETING - Minutes . March 29-April 1 . University Plaza Hotel . Springfield, MO (Approved

2) Youth Groups- Request those people working with successful youth programs on how they attract youth into their programs. What are they doing and can those programs be developed elsewhere.

3) Caller Schools- This group developed a list of callers who recently attended caller’s schools. Questions to ask is what can CALLERLAB do now to help with your calling career. What did you get from the school and how easy is it for you to get dancers. Barry suggested that we determine a few ideas from these topics and begin the process of doing something constructive. He asked the BOG to discuss and give ideas of where to start. It was suggested that the Youth Activities Committee be tasked with contacting the various youth groups to see what they are doing and what CALLERLAB can do to work with them. Justin advised he would bring up at the Youth Activities Meeting to see if they would wish to follow up on. Calvin suggested that the National Grange Organization be contacted to discuss how to revitalize competition into the 4-H activity. After discussion, Calvin advised he would contact the Grange Organization to see what might be done. The BOG advised that they wished to proceed to work on these projects and determine what we can do to develop new callers. It was asked the EC add to their agenda and present a plan.

SESAC -Deborah Carroll-Jones Deborah reported that a caller in the Fort Worth area has been contacted by SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors & Composers) with regards to music being used in the dance facility he manages. Despite their name of being "European," they have various songs by American artists ... some of which are already released as SD music. This means anyone who is using songs like "I Need You Now" or "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" are not properly licensed. The BOG addressed whether to be proactive and contact SESAC about additional license. Also suggested was to contact the Music Producers and ask that they consider not recording music covered by SESAC. This topic will be added to the EC agenda to consider further action.

New Callers music for training – Dottie Welch

Dottie noted that there was a request from a caller’s school for a small collection of music, in mp3 format, that is appropriate for new callers to use in learning to call patter and singing calls. Would it would be possible for the Music Producers to produce a short amount of music that new callers could begin working with? It was suggested that the idea be sent to the Music Producers as project for them to consider.

ARTS Proposed Square Dance Logo, Slogan and Slogo – Jerry Reed

Jerry asked that the BOG discuss the new Square Dance logo, slogan, and slogo. Jerry also asked that the Board endorse the ARTS proposals. Jerry Reed presented the following the Motion: MOTION: Be It Resolved That the Board of Governors endorse the new modernized logo and slogan as proposed by the ARTS in 2015. Motion seconded and approved.

Marketing and Promotion Materials – Jerry Reed

Jerry asked that the BOG discuss marketing and promotion materials to be produced by CALLERLAB as proposed by the CALLERLAB Marketing Committee. The BOG discussed with no action.

Future CALLERLAB Convention Sites - (FYI)

2016 (Mar 20-23) - Eastern Region - National Conference Center (Washington, DC area). 2017 (April 9-12) - Western Region- Mesa, AZ

2018 (March 25-28) - Central Region - Albuquerque, NM BOG Informal Reports -

The following reports of the BOG In-formals held during the 42nd CALLERLAB Convention:

First BOG Informal - Monday, March 30 - Bill Harrison and Tom Miller. Tom reported that three individual attended. Jack Snyder had concerns on how to attract new dancers. He suggested that there be more emphasis on how to do party nights and a shorter lesson period. Jack also advised that there needs to be more advertising to attract dancers in attending the CALLERLAB convention. Darlene Voosen wanted more social media instructions and to look outside of CALLERLAB for public relations assistance. Darlene also suggested that anytime we solicit funds for CALLERLAB or the CALLERLAB Foundation, we need to identify what the funds will be used for. Erin Byars suggested that we provide a few more dancers sessions at future conventions. Betsy suggested more emphasis be made to provide a list of non caller’s sessions that will occur during convention so perhaps dancers will recognize that there is something for them also. Tom advised that our 2016 Convention begins the same weekend that the WASCA Festival will occur in the same area. Vernon advised Tom that he is authorized to coordinate having a table or booth at the 2016 WASCA Festival and that the Home Office would help provide information for that purpose.

Second BOG Informal - Tuesday, March 31 - Jim Mayo and Jerry Reed. Jerry reported that they also had Jack Snyder and Darlene Voosen attended their session and pretty much discussed the same things as from the first BOG Informal. Jack discussed how to recruit and retain dancers and also asked for immediate reduction of the Mainstream and Plus Programs to about one-half the current size. Again he strongly recommended more publicity to inviting dancer’s attendance at our convention. Darlene expressed concern that our Mission Statement is too narrow. Jim and Jerry told her that the Mission Statement had just recently been revised and the recommendation by our consultant at that time was to make the Mission Statement be specific and condensed.

International Members on Committee- Jerry Jestin Jerry explained that we have emphasized that we are an International Organization, however many of our International Members do not participate with committees and he believes the reason they do not is that they have issues with language differences. Jerry suggested we work with the various international associations and ask that they interpret committee information. Walt advised this is something the International Advisory Committee should coordinate. Vernon asked Jerry Jestin to contact the International Advisory Committee and present his proposal.

Other Comments Vernon asked if there was any other business or comments before we adjourned. Clark Baker advised that the session that he and Betsy conducted on Diversity in Square Dancing had very little attendance and he formulated that there was evidently no interests by attendees with this session. Betsy speculated that this lack of interest might be due to the central region attendees may not be experiencing the ethnical diversity that is being experienced in the Eastern and Western regions. It was suggested the EC may wish consider another session at next years’ convention in the Eastern region. Jon Jones advised that there are some International callers wishing to become accredited caller coaches however there is concern that they may not be able to interpret portions of the examination process due to language differences. Jon plans to address this with Paul Henze and Tony Oxendine to see what could possibly be done to adapt the exam for international callers.

• The EC will create an Ad Hoc Committee titled "Launching Sustainable Square Dancing".

• This Ad Hoc will be charged with the task of creating a document that describes the full range of "Extended Applications" that Mainstream dancers should be expected to master before beginning Plus lessons. These applications will be designed such that mastery will require a minimum of two years dancing the Mainstream program while they are taught.

• Once completed the document will be submitted to the Mainstream Committee for their approval to publish. Following that, the BOG will also need to approve publication.

• Following formal publication, the Ad Hoc will present a resolution to the BOG to create a permanent committee to handle the ongoing activities implied by usage of the document (e.g. document maintenance, creation of sample choreography, collection of success stories, promotion, mentoring program, etc.)

• At a minimum, the document will contain the following: o The purpose of documenting the extended applications in a formal way.

What benefits will flow from adopting the practices described in the document.

o The context/environment needed for success in achieving the benefits (e.g. existence of places for people to dance "standard application" for those who do not wish to work on extensions)

o A description of each specific extended application. o A teaching order and teaching tips for those applications. o A suggested timeline for achieving mastery of the extended applications. o A blueprint for how to reformat the square dance activity using the ideas in

the document. • The EC will consult with Jerry Story to determine how best to populate the

membership of the Ad Hoc Committee and determine a project start date.
