National Convention Minutes 1. The National Convention of Alpha Chi met March 31-April 2, 2011, at the Mission Valley Marriott Hotel in San Diego, California, with the theme “Go West.” Dr. Clark Youngblood, president of the National Council, convened the first session of the convention at 7 p.m. in the Rio Vista Ballroom for the opening banquet. Dr. Jonathan Thorndike, Region III Secretary-Treasurer, delivered the invocation.

Next Dr. David Jones introduced Heather Triplett Biehl, who delivered the keynote address for the convention entitled “Living a Life of ‘Intelligence.’” Following the address, Dr. Youngblood presented Ms. Biehl with the 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award. Ms. Nikki Raye Rice, student representative from Region III, informed the convention of the need to elect four faculty members to the National Council for the 2011-15 term. Those candidates submitted by the National Council were as follows: Greg Clemons, Michael Flachmann, Lori Mills, Bill Potter, Laynah Rogers, and Kate Stewart. There were no nominations from the floor. Each candidate then gave a short introductory speech to the convention. It was announced that the elections would be held in the Friday morning business meeting. After a series of general announcements by Vice President Ellen Millsaps, the convention adjourned for the evening. Following the banquet there was a meeting of the section presiders and presentation prize judges. 2. Activities for Friday, 1 April, began with the first round of student presentations (17 concurrent sessions of four papers each) from 8-9:00 a.m. Next convention delegates participated in a plated breakfast and a second general business session. President Youngblood reconvened the convention in the Rio Vista Pavilion. Ms. Teresa Taylor, student representative from Region VI, explained the procedure for voting for faculty members on the National Council. Voting by ballot then took place. Ms. Whitney Kellermeier, student representative from Region I, introduced the morning speaker, Dr. Judy Cheatham, who presented a program on “The Power of a Book.” Dr. Cheatham graciously agreed to speak after it was learned that the intended speaker, Carol Rasco, was sick. After Dr. Cheatham’s speech, President Youngblood announced that all four positions on the National Council had been elected on the first ballot. The winners of the election were Michael Flachmann, Lori Mills, Bill Potter, and Kate Stewart. Following some general announcements, Dr. Youngblood then recessed the business session, and at 10:45-11:45 a.m. the second round of student presentations (17 concurrent sessions of four papers each) began. Simultaneously on Friday morning, student artwork and poster presentations were on display. Brown’s Graduation Supplies and Awards Company, official Alpha Chi supplier, displayed Alpha Chi items and convention memorabilia during regular convention hours. 3. At noon the regions met in separate rooms to conduct necessary business. Upon the conclusion of these meetings, delegates were free to have lunch and enjoy San Diego. From 6-11:00 p.m. members of the National Council assembled for a meal and continuation of the National Council meeting which had begun at 8 a.m. on Thursday. As part of an effort to increase communication between the regions and the national organization, the regional presidents and vice presidents were guests of the National Council at the dinner. 4. Saturday, 2 April, began with a continental breakfast sponsored by the National Council from 7:15-8:15 a.m. During that time, delegates could visit poster displays by 18 chapters on their local activities and events. At 7:30 a.m., sponsors could attend a workshop on the new Induction Management System led by Lara Noah, director of operations from the national office. From 8:30 -9:30 a.m. the first round of student presentations (16 concurrent sessions of four papers each, and one section of two papers) began. Another round of student presentations (12 concurrent sessions of four papers each, four concurrent sessions of three papers each, and one session of two papers) ran from 9:45-10:45 a.m. 5. President Youngblood called the final session of the convention to order at 11:15 a.m. Dr. Blake Janutolo, secretary of the National Council, announced that there were 470 delegates and guests from 87 chapters at the 2011 National Convention. He also informed the convention of actions taken by the National Council in their recent Council meeting. He announced (1) that the Council had voted that there will be a six-year waiting period after a chapter receives the President’s Cup before it is eligible to again apply for the President’s Cup, (2) that the housing subsidy for the 2012 Super-regional Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, would be the same as this year’s subsidy, and finally (3) that the 2013 National Convention would be held in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Youngblood then installed the new National Council members (Michael Flachmann, Lori Mills, Bill Potter, and Kate Stewart) and National Council officers (President Peg FitzGerald, Vice President Judy Cheatham, and Secretary Lori Mills) elected on Friday. Dr. Youngblood gave special recognition to the retiring members of the National Council—Dr. Ann Kneavel, Dr. David Basena, Dr. Blake Janutolo, and Dr. Ellen Millsaps—and also the student members of the Council, whose terms will end in 2012—Ms. Gina Farmer, Ms. Hollie Gordee, Ms. Whitney Kellermeier, Mr. Jonathan Lavezo, Ms. Margarita Ramirez, Ms. Nikki Raye Rice, and Ms. Teresa Taylor. 5

6. Dr. Peg FitzGerald presented the Distinguished Service Awards to the following persons: Mr. Tim Brown of Brown’s Graduation Supplies Co., Alpha Chi’s partner for official merchandise; Dr. Bonita Cade, sponsor at Roger Williams University and president of Region VI; Dr. Bill Clemente, sponsor at Peru State College and secretary-treasurer of Region IV; Dr. Michael Collins, sponsor at William Penn University and past Region IV officer; Dr. Lin Garner, sponsor at Lipscomb University and past Region III officer; Dr. Pat Graham, sponsor at University of Texas at San Antonio and past member of the National Council; Dr. Linda Gravitt, sponsor at Methodist University; Mrs. Marlea Johnson, past member of the national office staff and continuing convention assistant; Dr. Dick King, sponsor at Midwestern State University; Dr. Agashi Nwogbaga, sponsor at Wesley College and vice president of Region VI; Prof. Suzi Pundt, sponsor at University of Texas at Tyler and secretary-treasurer of Region II. 7. Dr. Dennis Organ presented the Executive Director’s Awards. The Executive Director Award carries with it a cash prize of $500. Recipients of the award are chosen by the National Office staff based on the recipients’ dedication to their students, to the chapter, and to Alpha Chi in general. This year’s winners of the Executive Director’s Award were Dr. Bill Clemente and Dr. Ron Brown. Dr. Clemente, secretary-treasurer of Region IV and sponsor of Nebraska Delta, has rendered unusual service as photographic chronicler of recent national conventions. Dr. Brown was largely responsible for the revival in 2010 of the Texas Iota chapter at Texas State University-San Marcos, one of the charter chapters of Alpha Chi, and has involved the chapter in activity on campus and at the last two national meetings. 8. Dr. Lori Mills, a member of the Scholarship Committee, announced the winners of the Sledge Fellowships and the winners and alternates of the Benedict Fellowships. Suzanne Pundt, a member of the Scholarship Committee, announced the winners of the Gaston Scholarships and the winners and alternates of the Nolle Scholarships. The recipients of the $3500 Robert W.

National Council Meeting Minutes 1. Dr. Clark Youngblood, president of the National Council, convened the first session of the Council at 8:03 a.m., 31 March 2011, at the Mission Valley Marriot Hotel in San Diego, California. Members present were: David Basena, Judy Cheatham, Al Clark, Bill Clemente, Gina Farmer, Peg FitzGerald, Michael Flachmann, Hollie Gordee, Karl Havlak, Blake Janutolo, Whitney Kellermeier, Ann Kneavel, Jonathan Lavezo, Paul Michelson, Lori Mills, Ellen Millsaps, Suzanne Pundt, Margarita Ramirez, Nikki Raye Rice, Teresa Taylor, Patricia Williams, and Clark Youngblood. Also present were Executive Director Dennis Organ, Director of Operations Lara Noah, and Chapter Relations Manager Melinda Hicks. Jonathan Lavezo and Jonathan Thorndike arrived the next day. 2. Dr. Al Clark welcomed the National Council to San Diego. Roll call was conducted by Council members giving their name and region and what they did last summer. 3. President Youngblood presented a proposed agenda. The agenda was accepted by consensus. The minutes of the last National Council meeting as recorded in the Alpha Chi National College Honor Scholarship Society Proceedings, Minutes and Reports 2010, pp. 4-14 were accepted by consensus. President Youngblood then presented Executive Director Dennis Organ, who has announced his retirement in 2012, with a pin to commemorate 30 years of service to Alpha Chi. 4. President’s Report. “This meeting of the National Council marks the end of the fourth year of my second term as President of the National Council of Alpha Chi, marking a total of eight years now functioning in the office, I will not be seeking a third term. I have two more years remaining on my third four-year term as National Council member-at-large. I will complete these two remaining years on the Council and will conclude my service on the Council so as to coincide with my retirement from teaching at Grand Canyon University. “We are told that the first obligation of a medical doctor is to do no harm. The same obligation applies to an officer of the National Council of Alpha Chi, especially for one serving in the office of President. In my eight years of serving I have sought to do no harm, but I have done harm in two or three cases of which I am aware and probably in other cases of which I am not aware. In those two or three cases, I have sought to rectify or alleviate the harm done. It is for others to decide whether or not I have been successful in this effort. If I have done harm to any of you, I ask your forgiveness. “During the time I have served on the National Council, first for ten years as secretary-treasurer of Region VII and then for twelve years at-large, I have served under three different presidents prior to my presidency: Dr. Rob Sledge, Dr. Gayle White, and Dr. Patricia Williams. These three are giants. I particularly consider Rob Sledge as my mentor. I have felt that my presidency by and large has largely been that of a caretaker presidency, especially as compared with my three predecessors. Yet, much has been accomplished these last eight years and that only by the grace of God expresses largely through a most excellent Executive Director and National Office staff as well as through superb fellow National Council officers and National Council members. Indeed, especially, words fail me adequately to express my extreme appreciation for the privilege of working with Vice President Ellen Millsaps and Secretary Blake Janutolo. I remain on the Council for two more years, but they, by constitutional requirement, must go off the Council with the conclusion of this convention in San Diego. I will miss them sorely. “And now, for the “nuts and bolts” of my report:  I presided over the Executive Committee meeting this past summer in Baltimore, Maryland. Significant items that came of the meeting include: o Dr. Dennis Organ, Executive Director of Alpha Chi, agreed to give the National Council a year’s notice before retiring. o The Executive Committee discussed several suggestions gleaned from evaluation forms from the 2010 Super-regional Convention in Little Rock and directed the National Office to post on the Alpha Chi web site a list of suggestions for making a good student presentation at convention. o Based on the history of meeting locations since 1991, the Executive Committee recommends that the 2013 convention be held in Region III with Nashville, Tennessee, and Charleston, South Carolina as possible sites. o The National Council had directed the Executive Committee to discuss the report prepared by Craig Cheatham that was presented at the 2010 National Council meeting and bring recommendations. . With respect to using technology for communications, the Executive Committee suggests that Alpha Chi offer webinars featuring outstanding chapters and have a mentoring program for new sponsors. . The Executive Committee recommends that work on a new strategic plan be postponed until a new executive director is in place. . Concerning redistricting the regions, the Executive Committee suggests that Region I and Region II consider combining.

o The Executive Committee narrowed the fields of possible hotels for the Baltimore convention in 2012 to the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel and the Hyatt Regency and authorized Vice President Ellen Millsaps to select the hotel that would give the best deal.

 I attended the annual meeting of the Association of College Honor Societies, February 2011, in Jacksonville, Florida.  I fulfilled various, miscellaneous duties of the office largely through email communication.  I polled the National Council membership concerning preferences for committee service and assigned members to committee in accordance with their preferences. 8

 I sent the “Performance Appraisal of Alpha Chi Executive Director by National Council Members” form to the members of the National Council in early February and compiled the results. I will present the results of the appraisal in the Executive Session.  With respect to inaugurations of new chapters, I assigned the following inaugurations: o DeVry University-Phoenix Metro, Phoenix, Arizona. I appointed myself. The chapter was inaugurated early May 2010 and has every indication of being a good, active chapter. o St. Catharine College, St. Catharine, Kentucky. I appointed Paul Michelson to inaugurate this chapter. The chapter was inaugurated in February 2011. o Young Harris College, Young Harris, Georgia. I appointed Ellen Millsaps to inaugurate this chapter. The chapter was inaugurated 27 April 2011.” 5. Executive Director’s Report. “My report this year follows the format used in 2007 and 2008, since the Strengths/Threats/Opportunities approach was well received and seemed to present information in helpful categories. Furthermore, because this is a transition period in Alpha Chi national leadership that suggests the need for a new strategic plan, perhaps this report can offer discussion points in the development of such a document. “Strengths 1. Online Registration System – The Induction Management System developed for Alpha Chi by ARELLO is the envy of the college honor society community. Besides presenting a tech-savvy image for Alpha Chi among potential members, it offers many features for quick and accurate gathering of data that we have always needed. 2. Membership Recruitment – While we clearly could do better here, our annual registrations have not declined despite the economic recession, the slow rate of adding chapters, and the loss of some chapters in the last several years. 3. Finances – Thanks to the membership fee increase in 2010 (from $30 to $40) and the growth in value of the endowment portfolio, Alpha Chi is healthy financially at the national level. 4. Successful national conventions – Alpha Chi’s traditional programming centerpiece, the national convention, is experiencing growth in attendance and strong favorable ratings. Although Alpha Chi devotes more of its budget to conventions than most organizations do, the expense can properly be considered a benefit to students and sponsors in keeping with the society’s broad goals of promoting scholarship. In effect, the approximately 300 students at the 2011 convention will receive $300 - $400 scholarship and the 150 faculty members a professional experience of similar value. In comparison, the traditional scholarship and fellowship program this year will cost about one-third less but benefit only 26 members. 5. National office staff and support – As consultant Craig Cheatham emphasized in his evaluation of the operation in 2009-10, I am blessed with dedicated and knowledgeable employees in the national office and Alpha Chi enjoys significant financial benefit from the agreement with Harding University’s hosting of the society’s headquarters. “Threats/Challenges 1. Retaining/reactivating chapters – Alpha Chi currently has its greatest number ever of inactive chapters. Too often, the retirement or resignation of a faculty sponsor leads to the dormancy of even a formerly vibrant chapter, much less a minimally active one. Because college and university administrators are usually unwilling to appoint anyone other than a volunteer as sponsor, Alpha Chi needs to be creative and aggressive in working to provide a continuity of sponsors. Dr. Patricia Williams’ pilot workshop on chapter leadership, held in the fall of 2010 at Denton, Texas, may be one model for encouraging struggling or inactive chapters as well as recruiting new ones. 2. Imbalance of large and small chapters – Alpha Chi has a preponderance of small chapters. Yet, financially, Alpha Chi depends heavily on a few chapters that induct more than 100 members a year (15 such chapters in 2009-10), amounting to about 25 percent of total registrations. In contrast, the smallest one-third of our chapters (82 chapters in 2009-10) induct about 10 percent of new members. Decline or loss of large chapters can jeopardize Alpha Chi’s financial health, and therefore they especially need to be nurtured. 3. Maintaining the society’s visibility and perceived value in a changing communications climate – Increasingly, we need to make wise and effective use of social media and other contemporary methods. 4. Maintaining the society’s visibility and perceived value in a changing world of higher education – We need to adapt as needed to trends such as distance education and other models for nontraditional students. 5. Increased administrative costs – The likelihood of a need for higher staff salaries in the near future will require reconsideration of budgetary priorities. 6. The cost of conventions – As noted above, the value of national meetings will have to be weighed against their high price tag. The financial pressure may be more significant at the regional and chapter level. 7. Decline in alumni interest – The Active Alumni Program, which was expected to pay for its cost, now no longer does so. Two expenses incurred to enhance alumni membership—addition of a second issue of the Recorder and the Pryor Fellowships—have worth to Alpha Chi in other ways but may need to be reconsidered. “Opportunities 1. New leadership – While the situation presents uncertainties, a completely new set of National Council officers this year and a new executive director next year also gives Alpha Chi the opportunity to benefit from fresh ideas. 2. Technology tools – The IMS and unified data base will make it possible to track and analyze the society’s operations much more efficiently than in the past. 9

3. Service Projects – The new tradition of adding a service project to the national meeting should help Alpha Chi’s visibility and reputation for being more than a recognition society. 4. Graduate students – In the three years since graduate students were granted membership, their numbers have steadily increased, though they still account for less than 10 percent of registrations annually. Encouraging growth of this element and incorporating them into the life of the society holds out significant possibilities. 5. The nontraditional student market – Although policy needs to be settled on the question of Alpha Chi’s expansion into nontraditional institutions, there appears to be potential for growth by tapping this market. Such a move is not without its risks and problems, however.” 6. Preliminary Report of the Convention Committee. Dr. Millsaps thanked Lara, Dennis, and Melinda for all their hard work in helping her plan the convention. This year the banquet centerpieces are an edible bouquet of cookies. Instead of T-shirts, everyone will receive a drawstring backpack. Everyone is encouraged to buy and contribute books for the service project. Bill Clemente has prepared a slide show of San Diego to be shown during the banquet. The service project in conjunction with Reading is Fundamental will be carried out at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School here in San Diego. The national service project will appear on the Alpha Chi and the RIF websites. Dr. Millsaps’ report was accepted by consensus. 7. Archivist’s Report (furnished in written form by Dr. Howard Smolleck). “As the Archivist of the Alpha Chi National Honor Scholarship Society, I am pleased to present my second annual Archivist’s report to the National Council. “As you may recall, I was elected by the National Council and confirmed as Archivist at the 2009 National Convention, and thus am still relatively new to this position. My first report, of a year ago, was concerned primarily with initial observations, my first visit to the Archives, and my attempt to learn as much as possible about the Archives and their use. Much thought and effort of that first year (and, to an extent of the second year) involved trying to develop a collection management philosophy and some objective regarding the Archives, while maintaining sensitivity to past work, future needs, and the ideas of others. “Specifically regarding the past year, my major effort has been to work with the National Office in helping to refine and codify procedures and objectives for making contributions to the Archives. As mentioned below, a copy of the resulting document developed this past summer, which forms an integral part of the present report, is attached. Efforts and accomplishments of these two years are outlined briefly below. “As a fitting beginning to this brief report, I would like to reiterate my appreciation of this honor and express my continued intention to serve Alpha Chi through my duties in this position. My reasons for volunteering for the position of Archivist are primarily a high long-term regard for Alpha Chi and close involvement with the organization for many years as both an Alpha Chi member (UT Arlington, 1970) and as Founding Sponsor of two chapters (Old Dominion University and New Mexico State University), as well as a serious interest in (and some experience with) archival and library matters. For example, I was a member of the Faculty Senate Library Committee a NMSU for a number of years and Chair on several occasions, as well as the first Curator of the Klipsch Museum in the NMSU College of Engineering. I have a great appreciation for libraries and the conserving of records of the past for future generations to appreciate. Having a large personal archive of technical and music-related materials, I am aware of the need and value of well-organized, critical collections. Further, as the Founding Sponsor of a chapter of a national engineering honor society (the Tau Beta Pi chapter at Old Dominion University, 1976) and as a member of several other honor societies, I have appreciated the value of such organizations over a lifetime of academic service, and am aware of their need to chronicle their histories effectively. “As outlined in my first report, I made my first (and, thus far, only) visit to the national Alpha Chi Archives at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, on 29 September 2009, spending nearly a full day with this collection. This involved viewing the facility, meeting the librarians, and making at least a cursory examination of nearly each box of archive material (and detailed examinations of some) to familiarize myself with the type and volume of material in the collection. My report of March 2010 summarized these observations. “This past year, I concentrated on developing procedures for the selection and submission of materials to the Archives, as well as answering the queries of those desiring to submit items. Interacting with such potential donors, and working through ideas with them concerning what might be the most important and ultimately useful items to archive from their collections, were of great assistance in codifying some of these issues. “Working with the national office, I developed a short document entitled Procedures and Practices Regarding the Alpha Chi Archives, which was issued in August 2010. I understand that this material is furnished to sponsors at their request as a supplement to the Chapter Handbook. Furthermore, since this document was approved by the Executive Director, I provide it to those chapters who contact me concerning submission of material to the Archives. To date, I have been contacted by perhaps half a dozen chapters in that regard, and have received several packages of material to be delivered to the Archives. “I might point out that I consider the guidelines somewhat flexible and subject to modification as the organization continues to develop more experience in selecting materials for the Archives. The suggestions of members, sponsors, national officers, and other stakeholders are certainly involved and are always valued.” FitzGerald/Millsaps moved to send Dr. Smolleck a gift of appreciation for his service. Motion carried. 8. Committees. The work of the National Council is expedited through preliminary deliberations conducted by small groups of Council members. These committees, some of which are constitutional and some of which are created as needed, have already been announced. They are reported here for the record. Chairpersons are indicated by asterisks. Executive Committee members are often appointed ex-officio, non-voting liaisons to some of the committees.

Long Range and Strategic Planning Committee. Dr. FitzGerald asked the Council to consider two questions. Should Alpha Chi continue the combined regional conventions? And should Alpha Chi have a new strategic plan before the new executive director is named? Dr. FitzGerald requested that President Youngblood lead the Council in a brainstorming session around ideas for a new strategic plan. President Youngblood agreed to hold the brainstorming session at the end of Plenary I. 11. Alumni Committee. Dr. Flachmann reported that the recipient of the $5000 Joseph E. Pryor Graduate/Alumni Fellowship for full-time study at the doctoral level during the 2011-12 academic year was Benjamin Salzman, alumnus of Pace University. The recipient of the $3000 Joseph E. Pryor Graduate/Alumni Fellowship for full-time study at the master’s level during the 2011-12 academic year was Daniel Crosby, alumnus of Fresno Pacific University. The report of the Alumni Committee was accepted by consensus. 12. Brainstorming Session. Dr. Youngblood led the Council in a brainstorming session concerning what might be included in a new strategic plan. Following are a few of the topics or ideas that might be included: (1) What type of schools will be accepted into membership in Alpha Chi, (2) Should Alpha Chi continue the present region structure? (3) Work on reactivating inactive chapters. (4) Invite administrators to the National Convention from schools Alpha Chi would like to see apply for membership. (5) Admitting more graduate students as a way to increase numbers in Alpha Chi. (6) Host webinars. (7) Invite retired sponsors or council members to visit institutions. (8) Decide if we should take in colleges with community college in their name even if they offer four-year degrees. (9) Extend benefits of Alpha Chi membership by partnering with other companies. (10) Make new sponsors more welcome at the National Convention. 13. The first plenary was recessed by President Youngblood at 10:30 a.m. Several Committees met to do their work at this time. At 8:02 p.m. on 1 April 2011, Dr. Youngblood reconvened the National Council for Plenary II after the National Council Dinner. Bill Potter and Kate Stewart were welcomed as newly elected members of the National Council. Dr. Youngblood expressed gratitude to students and those sponsors leaving the Council. 14. Regional Secretary-Treasurer Reports. Regional secretary-treasurers reported on the events occurring in their regions and at the regional meetings. Details of their reports will appear in the minutes of the business meeting of each region. Their reports were accepted by consensus. 11

15. Awards Committee. Michael Flachmann on behalf of the Awards Committee moved Lyon College be awarded the 2011 President’s Cup for the Outstanding Chapter. Motion carried. The committee also moved that there be a six-year (three convention cycles) waiting period after a chapter receives the President’s Cup before it is eligible to again apply for the President’s Cup. Motion carried. 16. Workshop Committee. Dr. Patricia Williams reported that there will be 18 workshops on Saturday morning of the convention. Students attending the workshop can have a chance to win door prizes by getting a signature of ten workshop leaders on a form and depositing the form in a box at the front of the room. During the final business section of the convention, persons whose forms are pulled from the box will receive a door prize. For the Suoper-Regional Convention in Baltimore, it was suggested that the workshops be held before the convention starts, and perhaps each region would host mini-workshops. Workshop Committee’s report was accepted by consensus 17. Report of the Executive Director Search Committee. The committee moved that the intent of the advertisement and timeline listed below be accepted. Motion carried. Advertisement: Executive Director. Alpha Chi National College Honor Society headquartered in Searcy, AR, is seeking a full-time executive director. Desired qualifications include (1) a college degree with preference for advanced degrees, (2) good management and relational skills, (3) experience with honor societies, (4) ability to articulate the mission and ethos of Alpha Chi, (5) ability to supervise staff, and (6) familiarity with fund-raising, philanthropy, and grant writing. The director need not live in Searcy. The position will begin June 1, 2012. Salary is commensurate with experience. Send letter of letter of interest and resume to the Chair of the Search Committee (Name and address) by Jan. 1, 2011. Suggested Timeline: (1) Receive applications from September to January 1, (2) Executive Search Committee (Executive Council plus two faculty members appointed by the president) will select two to three applicants after reviewing letters, resumes, and telephone interviews, to bring to Searcy for interviews sometime in February. (3) The Committee will present one or two people to the National Council at the next convention to be interviewed by the group. The Council will then vote to determine the person to become the next executive director. 18. Audit and Finance Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed the report of the auditing firm Miller and Rose P.L.L.C, Certified Public Accountants, and accepted their report of the 2010 records. The committee ascertained that the National Office of Alpha Chi Procedures Manual was being kept up-to-date. The committee reviewed all financial matters voted on by the council in their last meeting to see if they were actually accomplished according to the vote. All financial matters voted on in 2010 were accomplished according to the vote. The committee submits the following on-going recommendation: (1) Continue to ask for substantiating documentation when National Council members or National Office staff members seek reimbursement for expenses. The committee commends the Executive Director and the Director of Operations for the number of internal controls in place. The Finance Committee moved that the chapter subsidies for the 2012 Combined Regional Convention in Baltimore be set at $30 per night for one faculty voting delegate and one student voting delegate for up to three nights; plus a supplement of $200 each for one faculty, one student, and up to three additional students presenting on the program for chapters more than 375 miles from Baltimore and $100 each for one faculty, one student, and up to three additional students presenting on the program for chapters less than 375 miles from Baltimore. Motions carried. 19. Ad Hoc Committee on Unusual Schools. In answer to non-traditional institutions of higher education that approach Alpha Chi for membership, the Ad Hoc Committee on “Unusual” Schools moved the following: That any institution granted membership by Alpha Chi must meet the following conditions: (1) Be regionally accredited, (2) Have the Carnegie classification of baccalaureate, at the minimum; if the institution has historically been a junior or two-year college, it must already have been granted approval for four-year status by the accrediting agency and be in the process of transitioning to a four-year college. We further recommend that the National Council continue to monitor this issue as the face of higher education continues to change 20. Honorary Membership Committee. The Honorary Membership Committee moved that the following nominees, because they have shown special interest or proficiency in scholarship and their elections shall be deemed to be in the best interest of the Society, be granted honorary membership in Alpha Chi. Motion carried. The honorees are as follows: Geoffrey W. Gates, Dean of Academic Affairs, DeVry University-Phoenix Metro, nominated by Arizona Gamma; and Scott Rudolph, Interim President, Dowling College, nominated by New York Rho. Lawrence A. Tomei, Associate Provost, Robert Morris University, nominated by Pennsylvania Epsilon was approved for honorary membership in Alpha Chi by e-mail vote of the National Council in the Fall of 2010. Approval of the nomination of Candace Goodwin, President, DeVry University-Chicago, was postponed till further information could be obtained. [Subsequently, this nomination was also approved.] 21. Resolutions Committee. Patricia Williams on behalf of the Resolutions Committee moved the following resolutions: Be it resolved that Alpha Chi expresses thanks to the following individuals and companies for their contribution to the success of the 2011 National Convention: (1) Our thought-provoking and entertaining speakers, Heather Triplett Biehl and Dr. Judy Cheatham, (2) Chapters and individuals who donated to the RIF project and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School for hosting the service project, (3) Dr. Bill Clemente, photographer extraordinaire, (4) The Convention Committee under the direction of Dr. Ellen Millsaps, (5) The Alpha Chi Staff, Lara Noah, Melinda Hicks, Marlea Johnson, Jill Valentine and Executive Director Dennis Organ, (6) Members of the Scholarship Committee and students applying for the scholarships, (7) Marriott staff, especially Tala Dowlatshaie, for helping to make this convention so successful, (8) Dr. Howard Smolleck, who is doing an outstanding job organizing the Alpha Chi archives, (9) Tim Brown’s Graduation and Supply Company and Herff-Jones for the great backpacks, (10) Our regional officers, presiders and judges, and (11) All of the chapters that attended the convention, with special recognition for those chapters with ten or more delegates at the convention: Abilene Christian University, Grace College, Faulkner University, Gardner-Webb University, Belmont University, Huntington University, and special commendation to Chowan College, with 27 delegates. 12

22. Report of the Vice President and Convention Committee. Dr. Millsaps thanked everyone who helped to make this convention a success. The service project was a great success. The 2012 Super-Regional Convention will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore, Maryland, 22-24 March 2012. Room rates will be $144 plus tax for single/doubles, and $159 plus tax for triples/quads. The committee is recommending “A Star-Spangled Convention” as the theme. Because there are so many sights to see and things to do in Baltimore, the committee is recommending a national convention-style format with nothing planned for Friday afternoon and evening. The committee recommended continuing the regional dessert receptions after the banquet on Thursday evening as well as the Friday regional luncheon meetings. The committee recommended that an author speak at the banquet Thursday evening, which will continue our literacy emphasis, and perhaps a local theater company might have some kind of program about the many famous people from Baltimore. The committee recommended continuing the national literacy service project in partnership with RIF. Finally the committee recommends that the 2013 National Convention be held in Nashville, Tennessee, with a proposed theme of a “Grand Ole Convention.” Their report was accepted by consensus. 23. Old Business. It was accepted by consensus that the Council would move ahead on preparing a new strategic plan. 24. New Business. There was no new business. 25. Hearing no further call for new business, the Council then moved into executive session. FitzGerald/Williams moved that Dr. Smolleck be appointed as Archivist. Motion carried. Dr. Youngblood reported on the results of the compilation of the evaluation forms on the executive director filled out by the members of the National Council. Williams/Millsaps moved that Dr. Organ be re- elected as Executive Director, Alpha Chi match the salary increase given Dr. Organ by Harding University, and turn over to Dr. Organ the hiring of staff. Motion carried. Williams/Millsaps moved that an expression of appreciation be sent to Dr. Organ and the staff of the National Office and that Dr. Organ be given the authority to give the office staff a bonus for their extraordinary work in getting the national convention organized. Motion carried. 26. The Council returned to regular session. Hearing no call for further business, Dr. Youngblood adjourned the meeting at 10:51 p.m. 27. At 10:52 Dr. Youngblood convened a special session of the 2012 National Council meeting for the purpose of electing officers. The elected officers for the National Council for 2011-2015 are as follows: President – Dr. Peg FitzGerald, Vice-President – Dr. Judy Cheatham, Secretary – Dr. Lori Mills. Williams/ Farmer moved to adjourn. Motion carried. 28. Addendum to 2011 National Council Meeting Minutes By e-mail discussion and voting, the Council in August 2011 considered a motion brought by the Executive Committee to adopt a different policy for the rebating to Region III the portion of registration fees of members inducted into the D.C. Gamma chapter at Strayer University, an institution with multiple campuses across the country and a substantial online enrollment. The first part of the motion was to amend the Bylaws by revising item 9.b. to make it clear that the National Council may use more than one rebate formula for the chapters in a region. The proposed language was as follows: “The National Council shall determine a formula or formulas by which the regions receive a portion of the national registration fee paid by each member of the chapters in those regions. The regional rebates shall be remitted by the national office to the secretary-treasurers of the regions immediately following the close of the semiannual periods ending on June 30 and December 31 as accrued on these dates.” The second part of the motion was as follows: For Strayer University members, the national office shall rebate to Region III half of the $7 portion of the national membership fee currently rebated to a region in which a chapter is located, and to retain the other half of the $7 portion in the national treasury, effective with the semiannual rebate calculated 31 December 31 2011. The full motion was approved by the two-thirds majority required for amending the Bylaws.

Respectfully submitted, Delano B. Janutolo National Council Secretary

2011 Executive Committee Meeting Minutes 1. The three members of the Executive Committee of Alpha Chi’s National Council—President Peg FitzGerald, Vice President Judy Cheatham, and Secretary Lori Mills—Executive Director Dennis Organ, and the Director of Operations Lara Noah met at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday, 5 June 2011, for their annual meeting. The meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. 2. Dr. Cheatham discussed plans for the 2012 Super-Regional Convention, which will be held 22-24 March in Baltimore, Maryland, at the Hyatt Regency on the Inner Harbor. The theme of the convention is “A Star-Spangled Convention.” Dr. Cheatham has already located a RIF school where Alpha Chi can do a literacy project during the convention. She thinks that it can be arranged for more students to participate in the project than have done so in the past. Dr. Cheatham will also make contacts to book up to three different individuals to speak at the convention, perhaps including individuals in the history or political realm, as well as someone representing the literary history of Baltimore. It was decided that regions will have separate dessert receptions after the banquet and separate Friday luncheons with regional business meetings. Possible excursions include Fort McHenry, the National Aquarium, and Camden Yards. Given that new student representatives and regional secretary-treasurers will not be elected until noon on Friday, the National Council meeting will not begin until Friday evening. The Council will then reconvene Saturday afternoon and will conclude no later than Sunday morning. Dr. Cheatham also reported student feedback from the 2011 National Convention criticizing the amount of convention time dedicated to National Council candidate speeches. The Executive Committee thus agreed that candidates for the 2013 National Convention, instead of making live comments, would be asked to send to the National Office a video file of no more than two minutes answering a specific question. Additional feedback from the 2011 convention evaluation was that there were many distractions during student presentations due to doors being opened and attendees moving in and out of the rooms. It was decided that an etiquette sheet will be sent to session presiders and convention attendees in advance of the next convention. 3. Old Business. At the request of Dr. FitzGerald, the former chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, the National Council had a brainstorming session during the 2011 National Convention regarding Alpha Chi’s strategic plan. Dr. Fitzgerald is now the president of the National Council and has asked Dr. Al Clark to become the chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Dr. Clark accepted and emailed the executive director several questions the National Council needs to consider regarding Alpha Chi’s strategic plan. The Executive Committee spoke with Dr. Clark on June 6 by conference call. It was agreed that Dr. Clark would condense the primary strategic planning issues to seven topics. Dr. Clark will assign each of the topics to a subcommittee consisting of three National Council members. Each committee will have a deadline of December 2011 to report the goals and objectives regarding their topic to Dr. Clark. The seven sub-committees will be as follows (chairpersons indicated by asterisks): Lori Mills*, Kate Stewart, Whitney Kellermeier Judy Cheatham*, Jon Thorndike, Jon Lavezo Michael Flachmann*, David Jones, Nikki Rice Patricia Williams*, Karl Havlak, Hollie Gordee Clark Youngblood*, Bill Potter, Gina Farmer Paul Michelson*, Bill Clemente, Teresa Taylor Peg FitzGerald*, Suzi Pundt, Margarita Ramirez After Dr. Clark has compiled the reports of each sub-committee, the Strategic Planning Committee will plan for a face-to-face meeting to decide what to propose to the entire National Council regarding the strategic plan. This meeting would take place prior to the March 2012 National Council meeting (perhaps in February 2012). In further old business, the Executive Committee agreed that the advertisement for a new Executive Director for Alpha Chi needs revision. Dr. Cheatham agreed to revise the current announcement, using language similar to advertisements written for executive director positions for other honor societies. The timeline suggested by the Executive Director Search Committee includes receiving applications for the position from September 2011 to 1 January 2012. The committee will then select two to three applicants to bring to Searcy, Arkansas, for interviews in February 2012. The meeting of this committee could perhaps coincide with the meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee. 4. New Business. The Executive Committee discussed the five Nashville hotel proposals submitted for the 2013 National Convention. The committee stayed at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel from 5-7 June. On 6 June the committee toured the Millennium Maxwell House and then visited the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, the Sheraton Music City Hotel, and the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel. On 7 June the committee toured the Radisson Hotel at Opryland. Convening at the Radisson before leaving Nashville, the Executive Committee selected the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel as the 2013 convention hotel. Tammy Cordova from the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau had coordinated the committee’s visits to the hotels and offered to tell the sales representatives at the other four hotels that the committee had accepted another offer. The Executive Committee discussed possible sites for a 2014 Super-Regional Convention. Dr. Organ provided the committee with a handout showing that Alpha Chi has held conventions in each of the seven regions in the past seven convention cycles (past nine years). The committee agreed that name recognition of the city is an important factor in students desiring to attend the convention. Thus the committee agreed to solicit bids from hotels in Albuquerque, Kansas City, and San Antonio for a 2014 Super- Regional Convention. The meeting ended at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 7 June.

Respectfully submitted, Lori L. Mills National Council Secretary 14

Region I Report Minutes Call to order: Pamela Stephens, president, called the meeting to order at 12:01 p.m. 1 April 2011 in meeting room Salon A of the Marriott Mission Valley Hotel in San Diego, California. A sign-in sheet was circulated. [See delegate list in Appendix C of this volume of Proceedings.] Treasurer’s Report: Karl Havlak, secretary-treasurer, circulated copies of the report showing Region I had total assets of $122,056.16 as of 12-31-2010. Havlak also reported that investment holdings had rebounded somewhat from their approximately $86,000 low to approximately $112,000 as of February 2011. Total cost to Region I for the 2010 Super-Regional Convention was $11,600; cost for the 2011 National Convention to Region I was estimated at $16,000. New Business: Regional Subsidies: Pam Stephens raised the issue of Region I Travel Subsidies. After a discussion, it was determined that the Executive Council of Region I would meet to discuss the issue further. The consensus was to potentially increase the amount of the subsidies and the number of subsidies. Region I Service Awards: Pam Stephens congratulated all sponsors who received service awards and recognized those in attendance. Super-Regional Convention: Pam Stephens sought input on the Super-Regional Convention format as opposed to the Regional/Bi- Regional format. At the Regional level, the costs did not seem too great to continue. Some chapters worried that the financial strain may be difficult to incur each year with a “national” meeting every year. Most agreed the Super-Regional convention itself was successful. The next Super-Regional Convention will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, 22-24 March 2012. Combining Region I and II: Pam Stephens opened discussion on the possibility of combining Regions I and II as a single region. The purpose of this proposal was questioned. Some worry that Region I would lose its identity was raised. Further discussion needed if this proposal is raised as a real possibility. Regional Scholarships: It was determined that Region I will offer scholarships at the Super-Regional Convention in 2012. Some concern was raised over the fact that there were only six applicants in 2010 and six scholarships awarded. It was suggested that the awards could be modified based on the number of applicants, such as increasing the size of the award. The Executive Committee will meet to propose specifics of these scholarships. Region I Chapter Scholarships: Pam Stephens proposed possibly eliminating the $200 Chapter Scholarships because it didn’t seem they were accomplishing the “recruitment assistance” for which they were created. The opinion seemed to be that the scholarships should be maintained, but a better effort at publicizing them at the regional and chapter levels should be put forth. The recipients of the Chapter Scholarships that had been designated as of the business meeting were recognized. The names of all winners from Region I will be circulated via e-mail after they have been designated.

Austin State University (Texas Eta), University of Arkansas at Monticello (Arkansas Zeta), University of Central Arkansas (Arkansas Gamma), University of North Texas (Texas Eta), and University of Texas at Tyler (Texas Alpha Xi). A total of 12 sponsors and 44 students attended the convention from Region II. [See delegate list in Appendix C of this volume of Proceedings.] Minutes of the 2010 regional meeting were approved as distributed by email and printed in the Recorder. The Audit Committee (Dr. John Harrison, Mrs. Jean Hendrix, and Dr. Tim Lindblom) examined the financial records and found them to be in good order. They recommended acceptance of the financial report as submitted. The Gaston Scholarship Committee (Dr. Kate Stewart, Dr. Linda Thompson, and Dr. Steve Butcher) recommended Tyler Hudgens from Lyon College be awarded the 2011-12 Region II scholarship. Laura Hernandez from Oklahoma Christian University is the first runner-up. The Pryor Fellowship Committee (Suzanne Pundt, Dr. John Harrison, and Dr. Sandra Stewart) recommended Joseph Lockwood from the University of Arkansas at Monticello be awarded the 20011-12 Region II fellowship. Taylor Weaver from East Texas Baptist University is the first runner-up. Second runner-up is Nancy Love from Lyon College. Star Chapter Awards: Eight chapters from Region II received the award: Oklahoma Gamma, East Central University (sponsors Christine Pappas and Diane Wahl); Arkansas Eta, Harding University (Linda Thompson); Arkansas Iota, Lyon College (Tim Lindblom); Texas Omicron, Sam Houston State University (Gene Young); Oklahoma Theta, Southeastern Oklahoma State University (Brett Elliot); Arkansas Zeta, University of Arkansas at Monticello (Kate Stewart); Texas Eta, University of North Texas (Jeanne Tunks); and Texas Alpha Xi, University of Texas at Tyler (Suzanne Pundt).

The region discussed the continuation of Super-Regional conventions, as requested by the National Council. It was agreed that super-regional conventions provide a critical number of students, and therefore a much more stimulating experience than regional meetings do, and as such are desirable. However, it was also agreed that they are financially draining with regards to regional monetary assets. In an effort to stabilize the regional assets, it was agreed that Suzanne Pundt would draft regional reimbursement proposals (for both national and super regional conventions), which would be sent to regional sponsors for discussion. Regional Scholarship Application process: Tim Lindblom of Lyon College (Region II Vice-president) proposed changing the regional scholarship process and requirements, aligning the awards more closely with the national requirements, and making the submission process easier for both sponsors and the secretary/treasurer. Dr. Lindblom will draft a proposal, which will be shared with regional sponsors for feedback. Some of the changes discussed by the region include elimination of the transcript requirement; 20 creation of guidelines for the submitted paper; creation of an evaluation form to be completed by a faculty member in the student’s field, in addition to or in lieu of a recommendation letter written by the chapter sponsor; and submission of the entire packet electronically as a single PDF document. Meeting adjourned.

Region III Report Minutes Dr. June Hobbs (Gardner-Webb University), president of Region III of Alpha Chi, called the business meeting to order at noon on 1 April 2011 at the Marriott Mission Valley Hotel in San Diego, California. She introduced the other attending officers of Region III: Dr. Robert Mahan (Milligan College), vice president, and Dr. Jonathan Thorndike (Belmont University), secretary-treasurer. Dr. Hobbs thanked the Alpha Chi sponsors and students for attending the convention. [See delegate list in Appendix C of this volume of Proceedings.] She then asked the students who made presentations or applied for Nolle or Benedict scholarships to stand up for recognition. Dr. Hobbs recognized two new sponsors, Dr. Kevin Kennedy (Appalachian State University) and Dr. Bertha Minus (Edward Waters College). Also recognized were two outstanding sponsors, both of whom have served for 32 years and are retiring: Dr. Bethany Sinnott (Catawaba College) and Dr. Ellen Millsaps (Carson-Newman College). Dr. Hobbs noted that two Region III sponsors were announced as having received service pins at the banquet last night: Dr. Michael Morton (St. Andrews Presbyterian College) for 10 years and Dr. James Stitt (High Point University) for 34 years. Dr. Hobbs announced that minutes from the 2010 Region III business meeting in Little Rock were available on the Region III web site http://campus.belmont.edu/honors/alpha_chi/RegionIII/Index.html, and she asked for any corrections or additions to be sent to Dr. Thorndike. None were mentioned. Dr. Thorndike distributed copies of the 2010 financial report and reviewed it. The Region III investment portfolio gained $15,511 in value during 2010. The stock market had two good years in a row (2009, 2010) after three bad ones. Not counting the purchase of a new investment, Region III income exceeded expenses in 2010 by $7,799. This is the first time this has happened in the last four years. For the three years previous, expenses have exceeded income by the following amounts: 2009: (-$4,809); 2008: (-$27,392); 2007: (-$15,614). Region III sponsored conventions in 2006 and 2008, and the general financial crisis started in 2007 when interest rates started to rise after the housing market declined. The new Region III investment is the American Century Equity Income A Fund, which is 5-star rated on Morningstar. It invests at least 80 percent of its assets in equity securities at all times regardless of the movement of stock prices generally and invests at least 85 percent of its assets in income-paying securities. The fund also invests in equity securities of companies that the advisor believes are undervalued and have the potential for an increase in price. It is up 11 percent in value YTD. The Region III account is held at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC in Nashville, and the account advisor is Bob Gessler. The financial records are always available online to every Region III officer. The financial report was approved. Dr. Mahan announced the name of the $500 Region III Scholarship winner and awarded the check to Savanna Yount of Gardner- Webb University for her essay in the field of psychology, “A Mother’s Worst Nightmare.” 21

Dr. Hobbs recognized the Alpha Chi Region III chapters winning the “Star Chapter” Awards for 2011. A student delegate from each chapter came forward to receive the certificate for each school. In order to receive the Star Chapter Award, local chapters must have a minimum of one sponsor and one student delegate attending the convention, a minimum of one student presentation, at least one Nolle and/or Benedict scholarship application, sponsorship of at least one scholarly program, registration and induction of new members, and the Annual Chapter Report on file with the National Office by 1 September. Belmont University, Carson-Newman College, Catawba College, Chowan University, Christian Brothers University, Gardner-Webb University, Lipscomb University, Mars Hill College, Methodist University, Milligan College, Roanoke College, Shorter University, and Strayer University received this honor for 2011. Dr. Millsaps reported on plans for the 2012 Alpha Chi Super-Region Convention in Baltimore at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor, 22-24 March. The rate for the hotel rooms will be $144 per night, and the National and Regional offices will subsidize the chapters. There are many area attractions that make Baltimore a desirable location, and Dr. Millsaps encouraged all chapters to plan fund- raising activities next year because of the increased travel expense. There was a discussion about going back to the alternating regional format, and some delegates mentioned that the increasing expenses of hosting a national convention might make the regional organization a less expensive way to host future conventions. In terms of the number of registrants, the 2011 National Convention was the most successful in the recent history of Alpha Chi. There was a discussion about raising the profile and fund-raising in the local chapters and some successful methods used to get so many students to attend. Sponsors talked about ways to get administrators to support Alpha Chi in the same way they might support traveling athletic teams that represent the school. It was suggested that the National Office communicate more effectively with the President and Deans of member colleges. Dr. Hobbs asked that graduating seniors stand up to be recognized. Any students currently accepted into graduate school could announce their chosen schools. The students named Duke, University of South Carolina, University of North Carolina-Charlotte, University of Alabama, North Carolina State Veterinary Medicine School, Shenandoah Pharmacy School, University of Notre Dame, University of Colorado-Boulder, East Tennessee State University, Georgia State University, Auburn University, Clemson University, East Carolina University, University of Tennessee, Wheaton, University of Cincinnati, Boston University, and University of Exeter UK. With no further business, Dr. Hobbs adjourned the meeting at 1:00 p.m.

[See delegate list in Appendix C of this volume of Proceedings.] Treasurer’s Report and Minutes: Secretary-Treasurer Bill Clemente handed out minutes and discussed the Treasurer’s Report.

Clemente reminded about the process of how to receive scholarship money. Student Representative’s Report: Holly Gordee gave a report on her role on the National Council as Region IV student representative and how actively involved students are in the entire process. Members will elect a new representative next year in Baltimore. Regional Meeting in Baltimore: Holly Gordee asked members to think about what members would like to hear about during the 2012 regional lunch. Evangel suggested that schools give presentations on what they do with respect to Alpha Chi. General discussion followed, focusing on the workshops in San Diego and a pre-convention workshop in Baltimore. Regional President’s Report: David Jones talked about work on the National Council by all members. The Council, he noted, discussed the pros and cons of continuing the super-regional conference. General discussion followed about regional development and distribution. Another issue has to do with how to get more schools and people into Alpha Chi—looking at the more non-traditional schools. Golden Key has been very aggressive. General discussion followed about changes in Alpha Chi. David Jones also talked about the regional meeting in Baltimore and elections that will take place there. The meeting was adjourned at 12:30 p.m.

Region V Report Minutes Region V held its business session on 1 April 2011 during the AX National Convention is San Diego. The meeting was called to order by Vice-President Dr. Joseph Lehmann (Grace College). Region V Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Paul Michelson (Huntington University) called the roll. There were 12 chapters present, with a total of 73 delegates. [See delegate list in Appendix C of this volume of Proceedings.] Minutes. The minutes of the 2010 Regional Meeting held in Little Rock AR were approved as published in the Alpha Chi Recorder. Secretary-Treasurer's Report. Dr. Michelson presented the secretary-treasurer’s report. Our financial situation is basically stable, with income and expenses tending to be much the same from year to year. Going to a Super-Regional system will increase our costs, since travel to national locations is more expensive than regional travel. He reminded chapters to submit their expense requests immediately following the meeting. Dr. Michelson's report was approved. Student Representative Report. Ms. Gina Farmer reflected positively on her experiences as the Region V Student Representative on the National Council. Star Chapter Recognition. Dr. Lehmann announced that the following chapters from Region V received the Star Chapter Award for 2011: Anderson University, Concord University, Grace College, Huntington University, and West Liberty University. Certificates were presented to these schools. Regional Scholarships: Dr. Michelson commended the student presenters for their efforts and quality of their work. A sincere expression of thanks was given to all those who served on the scholarship committees for their hard work. These included the Scholarship Committee (Dr. Gary Locklair, chair, Dr. Blake Janutolo, Dr. Vickie Tinsley, and Ms. Kayla Saunders) and the Fellowship Committee (Dr. Linda Cowan, chair, Dr. Monica Unseld, Dr. Craig Rogers, and Ms. Ashley Vlaj). Winners of the 2011 Region V Scholarship and Fellowship were announced. The 2011 Regional V Undergraduate Scholarship was awarded to Jon Brenneman (Huntington University). The alternate was Shelly Bradbury (Huntington University). The 2011 Region V Graduate Fellowship was awarded to Ms. Gina Farmer (Anderson University). The alternate was Ms. Jacqueline Burgher (Anderson University). Discussion of the Super-Regional Concept. The Region seemed generally positive about the super-regional concept. It was observed that this meant that regions would have a lot less to do. We would have to watch the financial pressures involved in getting ready every year for a "national" meeting. It was mentioned that presenting at a Super-Regional or National meeting would carry more prestige than an regional meeting. The draw of a national venue was a positive. Super-Regional Convention. Dr. Michelson encouraged all chapters to start making plans for the Baltimore Super-Regional meeting, 22-24March 2012, to be held at the Baltimore Hyatt-Regency. At that time we will be electing three regional officers: president, vice president, and student representative to National Council, all for two-year terms. We will also be selecting a nominee for the 2013 Outstanding Chapter Award and the books will be audited. There being no other business or discussion, Dr. Lehmann adjourned the meeting. 24

Region VII Report Minutes Call to Order. Dr. Fay Nielsen, Region VII President, called the Region VII business meeting to order at 12 p.m. on Friday, 1 April 2011, in Salon C of the San Diego Marriott Mission Valley in San Diego, California. She introduced the new sponsor from DeVry University-Phoenix Metro and reminded all gathered that this San Diego gathering was the first national convention held in Region VII in the 89-year history of Alpha Chi. She added that that there were also more Region VII institutions attending this convention than ever before. In total, nine of the region’s chapters were in attendance, and all sponsors and students at the meeting were introduced: Azusa Pacific University; California Baptist College; California State University, Bakersfield; DeVry University- Phoenix Metro; Fresno Pacific University; Grand Canyon University; Hawaii Pacific University; Pepperdine University; and University of La Verne Star Chapters. President Nielsen recognized the following 2009-10 Star Chapters in Region VII and congratulated them as she presented their Star Chapter certificates: California State University, Bakersfield, California Iota; Fresno Pacific University, California Zeta; Hawaii Pacific University, Hawaii Beta. Dr. Nielsen then spoke about the requirements for star chapters, detailing each requirement in turn, and urging all chapters to work toward this recognition. Student Representative’s Report. Margarita Ramirez of Azusa Pacific University, Region VII’s student representative to the National Council, described her work as student representative on behalf of all Alpha Chi students in Region VII. Region VII Facebook. President Nielsen described the Region VII Facebook, including the photographs that were posted there. Treasurer’s Report. Secretary-Treasurer Al Clark provided a summary of Region VII’s spending and reminded those gathered of the region’s past decisions about spending down the treasury in the interest of providing student scholarships and promoting convention attendance. Because Region VII’s total had now declined from $25,626 in 2002 to $10,803 at the beginning of 2011, it was time to make a decision on how much money to keep in the bank and to develop mechanisms for maintaining that balance. Although the regional share of the recently increased national dues had also been increased, and although the number of inductees would probably also multiply due to such factors as the new online registration procedures and the incredible growth of some Region VII schools, it would nevertheless probably be necessary to decrease convention subsidies or reduce student awards, or some combination of the two, in order to maintain this balance. Since this would be his last year as Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Clark recommended that a formal proposal be adopted at the Super-Regional Convention in Baltimore in 2012, when the region’s new Secretary-Treasurer would be elected. M/S/C (Clark Youngblood/Rebecca Knippelmeyer) to accept the Treasurer’s Report as presented pending an audit by Bill Potter. Note: Professor Potter’s audit was later completed and accepted by Region VII’s president. 26

M/S/C (Vicky Bowden/Marshall Johnston) to direct Fay Neilsen, Don Shores, and Al Clark to develop a proposal on finances and the treasury, survey Region VII’s sponsors about it, and bring a finished plan to the business meeting at the Baltimore convention for a vote. Approval of the Minutes. The minutes of the 2010 Region VII business meeting of 26 March 2010 at Little Rock, Arkansas, had been made available before the meeting, and neither objections nor comments were voiced by email or in the meeting. M/S/C (Bill Potter/Sarah Foronda) to approve the 26 March 2010 minutes as written. Adjournment. The business meeting was adjourned at 12:45 p.m., and all in attendance left to enjoy sunny San Diego.

Heather Triplett Biehl, Distinguished Alumna Heather Triplett Biehl, a 1989 graduate of Westminster College, Missouri Delta, has been chosen to receive the 2011 Alpha Chi Distinguished Alumni Award. She will address convention delegates at Thursday night’s banquet when she receives her award.

After completing her bachelor’s degree in history, Biehl worked for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1989 to 1999, serving as a senior political analyst for the Office of Near East and South Asian Analysis, as a senior Iraqi analyst, and on Iranian and counterterrorism issues, receiving four awards for exceptional performance. In her role she prepared daily publications for the White House and the U.S. State Department and personally briefed Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. In addition, she became a full-service clandestine case officer and served as the CIA liaison to the Boston FBI office on terrorism issues.

After leaving the CIA, Biehl has continued to focus on intelligence issues through her work with two companies, BAE Systems-Advanced Information Technologies (formerly Alphatech, Inc.) and BBN Technologies, where she is vice president of intelligence programs. In 2007 the deputy director of the CIA's counterterrorism center personally asked her to write the CIA’s portion of the National Counterterrorism Implementation Plan. Her analysis was sent to the White House and was the CIA’s blueprint for efforts through 2009.

Married with two children, Biehl is also a cellist with the Merrimack Valley Philharmonic Orchestra and is active in the Acton, Mass., school district planning process and in efforts to reform educational funding in Massachusetts. She also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of her alma mater, Westminster College.

Biehl is believed to be the first Distinguished Alumni Award winner to have attended the Alpha Chi national convention as a student. In 1989 she presented a paper at the meeting in New Orleans.

Rasco, CEO of Reading is Fundamental For the second straight year, Alpha Chi is pleased to feature Carol Hampton Rasco, who since November 2001 has been president and chief executive officer of Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., America’s oldest and largest nonprofit children’s and family literacy organization. At last year’s super-regional convention in Little Rock, Rasco not only delivered a keynote speech on literacy but also arranged and chaired a panel of three former members of the administration of President Bill Clinton for an event at the Presidential Library.

Throughout her life, Carol Rasco has been a devoted advocate for children, youth, and families, as a professional and as a volunteer. Prior to joining RIF, Rasco was the executive director for government relations at the College Board. From 1997 through 2000, she served as the Senior Adviser to U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard W.
