Complete Committee Reports
Administration Committee: Nancy Ossewaarde (Chair), Harriet Holmes, Judi LeMasurier, Pat Fullerton, Paula Boyd
Absent: Pat Kessler, Danette Lavish
Paula Boyd served as temporary Recording Secretary for our meeting. Minutes of the July 13, 2003 meeting were read. Judi LeMasurier made a motion to accept the minutes, Pat Fullerton seconded the motion. Motion passed.
The Administration Committee was asked, by the President, to consider 10 items during their meeting time together.
1) Voting Members
There are no additional nominations for Voting Members on the committee at this time.
2 & 3) Work for Fiscal Year 2004
Paula will contact Pat Kessler regarding the Nomination forms to be sent out to the communities by December 15th . It was discussed and decided by the committee that the following wording be added to the form for nominations of members and officers: “These are the dates that you are required to attend Secretariat Meetings”, followed by a list of the dates of our Secretariat/Assembly meetings scheduled for the next two years. Paula will receive a copy of any information Pat Kessler has regarding elections. Paula will also ask Pat if Northern Virginia will still be hosting the October 2005 Secretariat meeting and, if so, set the dates.
Harriet will take care of all aspects for the Annual Survey. We discussed sending e-mails first (by April 1st), followed by hard copies (in different colors – 3 separate times) and if no response, Harriet will make personal phone calls to community presidents.
Pat Fullerton and Judi LeMasurier will work together on the banners. They will get a list of banners received by Steve and Ellen Boyd (Mid–Carolinas Tres Dias). The most recent count is 25. Working together, they will contact communities with no banners, attempting to have banners from all communities displayed for future Assemblies.
Nancy will discuss with Eric Borman the feasibility of RIMA holding the Assembly in 2005. The facility Brenda Higgins was considering is a campground setting, quite a distance from the airport, and will only accommodate 60 to 70 people. Nancy will also be looking into future meeting places for Secretariat meetings.
Another issue that needs to be addressed is clarifying registration deadlines in the Assembly guidelines – early registration should be 1 month prior to Assembly, final registration should be 2weeks prior to Assembly. Nancy will speak to Bill Boyd, President, to get updated guidelines for both Secretariat and Assembly Meetings.
Finally, we need to locate the book of past Critiques of Assembly Meetings. Nancy will call Danette Lavish and Harriet will check with Sharon Sheldon.
4) Motion for considering that Membership of Secretariat (Board of Directors) be expanded.
We were asked to research a motion form July 2002 regarding “expanding the membership of Tres Dias to provide greater representation from the communities”. We considered the following:
It is the decision of the Administration committee that we do not increase the number of Members on the Secretariat Board at this time. We are open to revisiting this issue in the future – either to increase or possibly decrease the number.
5) Agenda at the Assembly
We discussed different changes to the Assembly Agenda that might be implemented to improve and correct any disruption to the order of the meeting.
1) All motions come from individual community Secretariats in writing prior to the Assembly.
2) A delegate from the community presenting the motion is present at Assembly to answer any questions that are asked.
3) No individual can come to Assembly and make a motion from the floor that has not be discussed and approved by his/her local community.
The one thing agreed upon was that the Agenda needs to be reviewed and possibly revised by the President and VP Administration. Rene Stephenson will send Nancy a copy of Standing Rules for Assembly Motions that are used in an organization to which she belongs.
6) Clarification/Revision of Constitution and By-Laws
There are no matters relating to the Administration committee that need to be addressed at this time.
7) March 2004 Secretariat Meeting
Nancy will be contacting our host in Tampa Bay to guide and direct the process. Jan Sheble Waggoner will let Nancy know who the contact person will be.
8) Critique from Cleveland Assembly July 2003
Nancy will follow up with Pam Belknap to make sure a critique is submitted. Pam has offered to create a standardized form for Assembly Critiques.
9) Future Secretariat and Assemblies
In January Nancy and Paula will meet with Steve and Ellen Boyd in Concord NC to discuss any questions and make final preparations for the Assembly Meeting in July 2004. Nancy will do this in conjunction with the Blue Ribbon Committee meeting so that no additional expense will be incurred.
It was also agreed that we need to set our 2006 dates at our March 2004 Secretariat Meeting and ask for volunteers to host the Secretariat Meetings.
10) Number of Active Members
As discussed above (#2) Harriet Holmes will be taking this job over from Pat Kessler. She volunteered for the upcoming year and was comfortable with the process she established last year when she worked on it with Pat.
11) Excused Absences for Officers and Members of the Board
Our committee decided it was important to discuss this since so many board members were absent for this meeting. We recognized that since the date changed after being published that this caused many problems and scheduling conflicts. We did come up with a short list for excused absences which are as follows: Serious Health Issues
Death of a loved one
Other situations - subject to committee approval.
It was emphasized that we need to communicate to everyone that if they are not going to be able to attend a meeting, they need to contact both the VP Administration and the President prior to the meeting.
Excused Absences for Oct 2003 Secretariat:
Danette Lavish
Pat Kessler

What are we doing to assist or should we be doing to assist communities?
Have established guidelines for budding communities.
Somebody from the sponsoring community should be available or support
However, at the Secretariat Meeting on Sunday, October 19, 2003, it was reported that Pam Belknap and the Executive Committee would take over this responsibility.
Lots of discussion. –
Seminars for training for sponsoring communities. Have sponsors and goes through training with new communities. This would keep everyone aware of the Essentials.
Julie Bohl suggests that Candy Dale get together with a small group to see what can be done to help emerging communities. Candy Dale will take on the task of contacting every emerging community to implement the issues addressed in the discussion.
Adele Smith made a motion that all emerging TD communities have a chartered TD community sponsor them. The sponsoring community would oversee and assure that the new communities are following the TD Essentials. The sponsoring community also will train and supervise the new community. This would include a TD workshop given by a trainer approved by the TDI Membership Committee.
Julie Bohl seconded the motion. Vote - passed.
John McKinney would like to list communities that are emerging with info on website if they have a signed contract. He will need the contact information: people, addresses, etc. It was suggested that we keep them separate as another category. The committee agrees.

2) translation of documents
Barbara Chambers needs contact information for rechartering communities.

**Please note that Faye Gilbreath’s commission was eventually taken over graciously by the Executive Committee at the General Meeting of the Secretariat.
From the General Meeting. We need to give recommendations for By-law changes to the Executive Committee for review for March for contract with emerging communities. Contract also needs to be run through Policy Committee in March. This needs to be voted on at the Assembly in July. It was also suggested that it be referred to as an Agreement rather than a contract to avoid legal issues.
Policy Committee
October 18, 2003
In attendance: Bob Decker (Chairman), Wilson Burton, Terry Gilbreath, Jeff Mehl, Royce Chambers, Charles Allen, Tim Real
Not present: Tommy McKnight, Mike Vigil
Opened in Prayer by Terry Gilbreath.
Objectives set before:
It was discussed at length communion “during” or “following” in the “Sacred Moments of Grace”. In the “Essentials”, the statement “followed by Holy Communion” is discussed following the “Sacraments” Rollo. The intent was to give a community the option of doing communion during or following the “Sacred Moments of Grace”. Therefore, the following recommendation is made:
“We propose to change the word “will” to “may” on the 4th and 9th page, the last paragraphs which are in parenthesis.”
2nd Recommendation: “On the outline VIII, page 4, change to “God’s grace revealed in Communion”, removing the word “Holy”. This is to clarify the different terminology fore this to be included in the next lines.
The Policy Committee recommends by Acclamation to approve the “Sacred Moments of Grace, Purpose and Situation, Outline, and Clarification”.
In July ’04, the following committee members requested and received voting status: Royce Chambers, Wilson Burton, Jeff Mehl. The Tres Dias Committees 2003-2004 need to be corrected to reflect this.
Our charge was “to investigate a common Tres Dias songbook”. We found after 4 years, this was not practical.
Recommendation: We recommend discontinuing the Official Song Book of Tres Dias; in its place, we recommend each community obtain a CCLI license.
Procedure for obtaining a license: CCLI.com
There are many websites available with lyrics and cords.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Real
