Proposed change to Section 3 to read: The fiscal year of the Association shall begin on Janu- ary 1 and continue through December 31 of that calendar year. Rationale: Changing the designation of our fiscal year will 1) assist us in more easily filing ap- propriate IRS reports; and 2) will better match the fiscal cycles of many of our revenue streams. Article 9: Meetings Section 1: There shall be an Annual Business Meeting of the Association, to be held at the site of the annual convention at a time to be determined by the Board of Directors. Section 3: For the purpose of transacting business at the Annual Business Meeting, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the active members attending the business meeting. Items for vote at the Annual Business Meeting will be ratified by majority vote. Proposed change to Section 4 to read: For the purpose of transacting business outside the Annual Business Meeting, a quorum shall consist of at least 10% of the Association’s active members for an online vote. A positive vote by 60% of those active members voting would be required for an online issue to pass. rationale: This will allow CoSIDA to transact business year-round. This will allow input from all active members, not just those attending the annual convention. This should be easily trans- acted by using mechanisms members currently use for Academic All-America voting; perhaps items for vote could be attached to an AAA ballot throughout the year when timeliness is neces- sary. Also, since only active members can access online voting, it will not be necessary to put addi- tional passwords/codes in place for any ballot issues. The threshold for passage will be higher (60% vs. 50%) in an online vote to combat any percep- tion of trying to push anything through by not waiting until the convention to vote.

  • Ephesians 5:15–21
    CORNERSTONE BIBLE CHURCH June 17, 2012 DON’T WASTE YOUR SUMMER Ephesians 5:15–21 Introduction: Jonathan Edwards’ 70 Resolutions • It was the summer of 1722 and a young 18-year-old by the name of John was in a major transition of his life. Two years before he had graduated first in his class at Yale University; now he was about to finish his master’s degree from that same institution. All he had left to do was to complete his master’s thesis, but he decided to take about 10 months to go to NYC to pastor a small struggling church. It was the perfect oasis for him to think about his life. • It was during that summer that this young man began to write out 70 little statements that he would use to govern his life. These were his commitments to bring his life under the total submission to the Lordship of Christ. These 70 resolutions, as they have come to be known, from an 18-year-old stand as a witness of someone who wanted Christ to be his life. • This man, who is better known as Jonathan Edwards, will become one of the greatest pastors or theologians that our country has ever known. But also, make no mistake about this: that while he was a very gifted individual, these resolutions shaped him. He worked hard to get the most out of who he was in Christ. And as he stood looking at the rest of his life, he simply wanted to give it all to Christ.

  • 1990 Goodwill Games
    INSPECTOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF DE:FENSE 400 ARMY NAVV DRIVE ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22202·2884 REPORT NO. 91-014 November 23, 1990 MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (FORCE MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL) DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT SUBJECT: Report on the Audit of the 1990 Goodwill Games Introduction This is our report on the Audit of the 1990 Goodwill Games. The audit was requested by the Office of Economic Adjustment. The audit objective was to determine whether adequate controls existed over financial operations for the 1990 Goodwill Games and whether the financial operations were conducted in accordance with DoD policy and guidelines. Discussion The audit determined that adequate controls existed over financial operations for the 1990 Goodwill Games and that the financial operations were generally conducted in accordance with DoD policy and guidelines. Funds appropriated for the support of the 1990 Goodwill Games were judiciously managed, and it is likely that of the nearly $20 million appropriated, $8 million will not be spent. We found certain deficiencies that we brought to management's attention during the audit. Suggestions for improvement either had been or were being implemented at the time of this report. Internal Controls The audit disclosed no internal control weaknesses as defined by Public Law 97-255, Office of Management and Budget Circular A-123, and DoD Directive 5010.38. Scope of Audit We evaluated the adequacy and effectiveness of established financial and operating procedures, including the separation of duties for review and approval of DoD support, the qualifications of DoD personnel, and procedures for issuing and controlling the return of materials loaned to the 1990 Goodwill Games and obtaining reimbursement for lost or destroyed i terns.

  • Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.
