From Dave Hewlett:

I learned today that Linda Townsend of the Rose City Pod in Tyler passed away in her sleep last night April 7. No details at this time.


FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The other day I mentioned that there are Five Special Committees will be appointed for the purpose of handling specific portions of CASI business. These committees are

1. The Executive Committee will include the CASI officers and Executive Director. It will address leadership and general administrative issues.


2. The Finance Committee will assure the financial well-being of the corporation, adjust budget models, insure financial accountability, and oversee the actions of the Treasurer.


3. The Governance Committee will monitor the relationship of CASI to its members, make sure CASI’s actions are transparent and accountable, assure members of a fair return for their participation, and secure and motivate leadership on the Board of Directors and at the pod level.


4. The Public Relations Committee will oversee marketing CASI to the public and to prospective sponsors and control the image, positioning, and message of CASI as it is communicated.


5. The Events Committee will be responsible for general oversight and articulation with CASI’s major events: TICC, regional and state opens.

Each of these committees have been working for you this year. They assist in the work that the board is doing for CASI. Thanks to all of the members of these committees for all of their hard work.

May to day be filled with sunshine for all of you.
