handle is hein.peggy/wbamnxt0010 and id is 1 raw text is: FINAL APPROVED MINUTES OF THE WOMEN'S BAR ASSOCIATION FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING NOVEMBER 19, 1996 The meeting was called to order at approximately 5:00 p.m. by President Nancy Long. Those present at the meeting included Ellen Berick, Nancy Long, Victoria McEneney, Julie Heflin, Pat Apfelbaum, Mary Kate Whalen, Loretta Garcia, Cory Amron, Juliana Schulte O'Reilly, Sue Swiatek and WBA Executive Director Lora Pollari-Welbes. I. MINUTES The Board minutes for October 15, 1996 were approved as amended. II. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Nancy Long) There was no action taken by the Executive Committee this month. Nancy reported that the D.C. Bar is soliciting nominations for the Bea Rosenberg award and that the WBA nominees should be in I place by December 10, 1996. Juliana O'Reilly and Cory Amron will be screening nominees. Options for nominees will be presented to the Executive Committee. III. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT (Lora Pollari-Welbes) The Board approved the admission of 27 new members. Lora reported that membership renewals were coming in following calls made by the Board. She expressed concern about the lack of new members this month - 27 as compared to 41 received in November of 1995. This may be a possible trend. The Board discussed ideas concerning what the Board and the WBA should do to increase new membership and to retain renewals, especially senior attorneys. The general response from Board telephone calls to non-renewing senior attorneys, was the perception that the WBA is primarily useful and/or geared towards younger, less experienced attorneys. Ellen Berick reminded the Board to forward names or information concerning women interested in appointments for the second Presidential Administration to the National Women's Political Caucus - Coalition for Women's Appointments.
