Two outstanding proposals were presented for holding the 2007 National Convention, Myrtle Beach, SC and Boston-Marlborough, MA. The board voted and selected Boston-Marlborough, MA. The New England Chapter and Adirondack Chapter will be the hosting chapters. Dave Brigham was elected to be the National Convention Chairperson.
Gary Mortimer reported NCRS sales are ahead of last year. Eric Mortimer stated we had 15,590 families as active members.
Carlton Colclough reported NCRS gave a total of $43,238 to charities during 2003 with $12,798 given by the chapters and $30,400 given by national. National will continue to match the chapter contributions in 2004 so long as the contributions meet the Charity Program Guidelines.
John Pirkle reported the National Corvette Museum elected the five founding fathers of the museum into the Museum Hall of Fame. They are Ray Battaglini, Darrel Bowlin, Tom Brookmyer, Dan Gale and Terry McManmon. These five founding fathers were all NCRS members and will be inducted at the Labor Day Celebration. Congratulations!
The NCRS By-laws were changed to reflect the Regional Representative boundaries. These boundaries were changed so the Regional Directors could more easily serve the regions in which they represent rather than be based on a regional membership balance. Changes to the nine geographic regions are as follows:
Region I – no change
Region II – no change
Region III – no change
Region IV – no change
Region V – North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Manitoba
Region VI – Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Nebraska
Region VII – Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana
Region VIII – Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan
Region IX – California, Hawaii, Arizona and Nevada
The Board established a NCRS President’s Club to honor the individuals who have served our organization as President. The NCRS President’s Club will have no specific responsibilities and will have no decision-making authority. The NCRS Board of Directors and officers may use it as a resource. Each member of the President’s Club will be award a Life Member of NCRS and a special pin to honor their long time dedication and service to the organization.
Tom Hincz will head up the “Year of the 1954” at our National Convention in Windsor that was mentioned in the winter issue of The Corvette Restorer. 1954 car owners that either display or have their 50-year-old car judged at the National Convention will be awarded a plaque signifying the anniversary. In addition, they will be highlighted in the road tour parade as it arrives at the National Convention. The registration form is in the latest issue of The Driveline and all of you 1954 owners should make every effort to attend.
Duane Ravenberg has done an excellent job in preparing a new National Convention Guideline for NCRS to use as we prepare for a National Convention. The Board approved these guidelines.
Other items labeled for later action were the development of NCRS Scholarships, Regional Director global boundaries, Chapter Guidelines, Registration Guidelines Revision, Chapter Flight Award Revision, President Award/Member of Year Award Guidelines.
The next Board meeting will be held in Windsor, Canada on Friday, July 30, 2004 following the National Convention.
