speaker, Bob Murner of Disaster Services did not come so the
floor was opened up to discuss the proposal
for affiliation between NCAPHCC & CPHCCA that was
presented by Tim Williford at the last meeting. Wes Styers
and
Darrell Ellis both had very strong feelings about the
subject. Many questions were raised. One very important
one
would be how this affects our associate members? What would
the CPHCCA members get for joining besides higher
dues? How would this increase the CPHCCA meeting
memberships? Wes made a motion to adopt the summary of
proposal for affilations between NCAPHCC & CPHCCA.
Motion was passed. Per Wes, the state will send letters to
all
CPHCCA members and also a copy of the summary.
List reminded everyone that the VICA winners will be at the September meeting.
List asked if anyone had any old business/new business to discuss.

realize the need to increase their respective
memberships. In an effort to accomplish this State and
Charlotte would benefit from the relationship as it
would serve to funnel members to both
organizations. Nevertheless, all
realize that "forcing" companies to join the
State/National federation might result in hard
feelings, In an effort to
alleviate that pressure, State/National proposes
that all existing Charlotte members immediately Charlotte will be
allowed to pay a full year's dues for one half of
their membership by December 31, 2005. The next quarter
of Charlotte's membership will remit dues by
December 31, 2006. The final quarter
will remit dues before December 31, 2007, thereby
becoming a fully federated PHCC chapter. It is possible
that a quarterly payment schedule might be
available. All new members
would be required to join all three
organizations/federation levels immediately. As
mentioned If, as of 1/1/08,
not all of the Charlotte members were members at
all three levels (Charlotte/StateNational), Between now and
12/31/07, State and National would have to prove
their worth to those in the Charlotte group State and National
