committee report Dan Jones:
The MC has integrated data that came from Paul Nagy with
membership forms that had not been entered into the database. The fundraising committee has also entered
membership information into a database. Total is approximately 400 members of ANA.
The ANA needs a membership coordinator.
Allan McMurtry makes a motion to create a small membership committee. Dan Jones makes a friendly
amendment that the treasurer takes over the membership committee. Allan accepts the friendly amendment. The
membership committee should notify any members of any ANA committee or the EC
if any of their memberships have lapsed. Motion seconded.

members that do not live within the Allandale neighborhood boundaries. The intent of the bylaws is to allow the EC
to approve or disapprove associate memberships. Businesses can only be associate members. Cathy Yang would like to note
that maybe these members do not realize that they are applying for associate
membership which does not convey voting rights. Associate members will be
contacted. Cathy Yang nominates Bill Penn as an associate member as well.

II. ANA Membership Database Guidelines
The Treasurer in accordance with the bylaws is responsible
for maintaining "a membership roster of regular and associate
members." In this capacity, the
Treasurer is responsible for managing ANA’s membership database in accordance
with the membership rules approved by the EC (see below). The scope of this
function includes: maintaining the membership database, i.e., entering and
updating the membership database, reporting on status of membership, and acting
as gatekeeper for usage of the names and contact information contained in the
database.
Tom Linehan suggests the following rules to be used as a
guide for the use of member information:
consistent with ANA bylaws, "The membership roster and mailing list of the
Association may not be used for political, commercial, or other activity not
directly related to the Association."
2. The
membership database will include at a minimum the following information on each
member:
· name
· address
· phone number
· email address
· amount paid
· committee
interest
· date
submitted
3. The membership
database may be used by the Executive Committee and any of the individual ANA
committees to:
· determine
membership status
· communicate
with members who indicated on their membership an interest in a committee
· inform residents of upcoming events
· keep members
current on ANA-related issues
· recruit
volunteers for an ANA committee, event, or activity
· fundraising
for an ANA sponsored project
limited to the membership database and do not include contact information
collected by an individual committee through other means, e.g., people who
register to participate in a neighborhood event put on by the fundraising
committee.
5. The membership
database will be maintained by the Treasurer of ANA or a person designated by
the Treasurer, and can only be shared with other EC members and committee
representatives in a hard copy format. The Treasurer or his/her designee may
not provide an electronic version of the membership database to anyone within
or outside the association without prior EC approval.
6. The membership
database will be updated throughout the year as new memberships are received.
7. Membership
correspondence must be reviewed by the committee chair, the communications
chair, and the ANA President. The purpose of the review is for awareness and
conformity with ANA’s position on a particular position if such a position has
been stated. It is not to edit or rewrite the correspondence.
8. All emails sent
using the membership database will include an "opt-out" option that
allows the receiver to be removed from future ANA emails. (see sample email)
members will have access to this database and that the EC will have control
over the content of the e-mail communications that are sent out.
so that only an officer of the ANA EC can send out the e-mail.
