The Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors of Alpha Theta Fraternity was held at 17 South Avenue, Ithaca, New York, on September 28, 2002.
The Meeting was called to order at 11:25 a.m. by President Tim Cole.
Directors Cole, Hull, Eno, and Amador were present, and Miles, Secretary.
Minutes of the directors' meeting of 2002 were read and approved.
David Miles reported that a check of the New York Department of State database disclosed that the official name of the corporation was simply "Alpha Theta Fraternity", the organization of the corporation apparently pre-dating the current state requirement that every corporation contain a word such as "Inc." identifying it as a corporation. A motion was made and passed that the name of the corporation be changed by adding "Inc." to the end, so that the corporation will not be confused with an unincorporated association.
A motion was made and passed that a separate corporation be set up which will serve solely as an alumni association. Details of the structure of the corporation and its relationship to Alpha Theta to be worked out be the next annual meeting.
The following were elected officers of the corporation:
President - Cole
Vice President - Hull
Secretary - Miles
Treasurer - Amador
Alumni Relations - Eno
A motion was made and passed to establish a Fund Raising Steering Committee, with initial members to be Rick Eno, Emanuel Sepulveda, and Reid Orth.
It was decided that a written evaluation of the condition of the house be done at the beginning and end of each school year.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 12:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
David S. Miles, Secretary
