It’s over - took less than an hour for this administration’s first CRNC National Board Meeting to adjourn. The board quickly went through the proposed agenda. As promised by the administration during campaign season, we passed a constitutional amendment to amend Article Three, Section Six, Subsection Two by inserting the following after the last sentence:

“The Budget and Finance Committee shall select one of its members to keep minutes of all meetings. The minutes shall be filed with the Secretary of the CRNC, and shall be made available to any members of the National Bard no less than three business days after a written request has been made. The request shall be submitted to the CRNC Executive Director, and shall include information regarding the document requested and the preferred method of deliver.”This amendment, proposed by Midwest Vice-Chairman Justin Smith, is just one of the many ways our administration is making sure we’re transparent and open about the inner-working of the College Republicans.”

Chairman Charlie Smith presented the 2007-2008 budget, which set ambitious fundraising and programming goals. More than ever before, resources will be sent out to the states and chapters through the Field Program, the new STORM network, and through OnePage Events that will allow chapters to become part of nationwide events all run on the same day.

As the meeting adjourned at 9:37 a.m., Chairman Charlie Smith and Executive Director Ethan Eilon launched into a presentation of the struggles and success experienced since taking office on July 15th. They also outlined our plan going forward.

Exciting and innovative initiatives are in the works for College Republicans across the nation!

Stay tuned to hear some of those highlights…
