IACAC Executive Board Meeting
HIGHLIGHTS and MOTIONS
Wednesday, May 29, 2019
Elmhurst College

HIGHLIGHTS

Treasurer: The finance committee will be completing a thorough review of the fiscal policy.
Chief Delegate: Department of Justice Investigation – Since action will take place in September for the Assembly meeting at NACAC, the 2019 delegates will be asked to consider the changes. There is a revised NACAC membership model that was developed in response to the concern raised to last year’s proposed membership model.
President elect: The IACAC annual conference is scheduled for April 22-24, 2020. If anyone is interested in a particular committee chair role or has additional feedback or suggestions, please reach out: meganorourke@providence.edu.
President: The credentials and nominations committee is being formed. If you have interest in serving on either committee, please reach out to Patrick Walsh (pjwalsh2@ilstu.edu) indicating which committee you would like to serve on.
Past President: The 2019 IACAC Annual Conference #NormalinNineteen was a huge success with amazing sessions, an inspiring keynote address by Akil Bello, and updates from NACAC Board member, Chris Reeves. As committee chairs and liaisons continue their work this year please keep in mind our Legislative Agenda. We should take some time to consider the larger issues of why we do what we do and how we would like to see problems solved in Illinois.
