Director Tim Moose, joined our meeting and to accommodate him, we then went to New Business.

Executive Board Members and President Michelle Hamby advised the Director that we would like to know and have his support.  He was also advised of the things that NCPPA has done and we were also there as a tool to get things forwarded to him and to support him as well.  President Hamby also advised the Director that we would like to do a presentation to him and the Secretary Staff to show what NCPPA is all about. 

Director Moose advised that he did support NCPPA – and renewed his membership for 3 years.  He advised us that as the budget gets better we would see things get back to normal.  He advised that the Secretary’s staff met on Monday’s and they were looking into the restrictions that have been placed on us as far as travel and us taking Vacation time for our meetings.  He assured us that the Secretary’s Office supports us and the efforts that we are making. 

Director Moose advised that he would send a letter out for us to put on the web site to show and advise of his support.

The Director was asked about the Training Institute for 2010.  We advised him that it was imperative that we go ahead and start the planning, but especially getting the location and hotel.  He advised that he will try to have answers by the end of the month for us on that issue. 

Director Moose was given an over all look at what NCPPA has done in the past.  We requested that the Issues and Resolutions continue to be utilized so that issues from the field could be heard and responded to.  Director Moose advised that he thought that was a great idea and he wanted us to continue to utilize that forum. 

Director Moose had to then leave, but advised that he appreciated all of our efforts and to continue to do as we have.

President Hamby then advised that she would like to see each Division do something for Christmas.  She advised that there were Angel Food Ministries all over North Carolina, where you could get food that fed families in need. 

Lorie Wright advised to let her know what we would do so that she could put it in the next TALK issue. 

Discussion was held about the Ms. Rocshena Gill, who had been in a car accident while on duty.  Rodney Trogdon made a motion to send her and her family $300.00 to assist in whatever was needed.  Katherine Horne seconded.  Motion passed.

Discussion was then held about CPPO Noel Rose, who has been in the hospital for 20 + days, very ill.  Latashia advised us all of his status.  Rodney Trogdon made a motion to send $300.00 to his wife, CPPO Stephanie Rose to assist in whatever she needed.  Katherine Horne, seconded the motion.  Motion passed.

Annual Meeting

About 50 people went to Charlotte for the Annual Meeting and about 40 people participated in the Fun Day Event. 

NEW BUSINESS:

The 2010 Training Institute was discussed

As earlier in the meeting, the Director advised he would try to let us know something by the end of the month, on whether we would be allowed Training Time and whether we would be able to take State Vehicles to the event.

It had been discussed early this year that Division 4 would still host the 2010 event.  Most possibly going back to Charlotte at the Holiday Inn, since Chris Buchanan had all the contacts there.

Discussion was held about the Divisions would still host, but not necessarily having to have it in their area, having it where the most people would be attracted to go.

STATE COMMITTEES:

Latashia Williams, incoming NCPPA 2010 President advised that she would like to keep everyone the same, if no objections.  Rodney Trogdon was asked to assist Susan Walker with Membership and he advised that he would.
