Old Business:  
The first item of discussion was the Miami Beach chapter.  Mikey reported that Anthony Corona from the Miami Beach Council has reached out to him in reference to some continued dialogue to explore options. The Executive Committee agreed to Source information and guidance as well as make themselves available to the Miami Beach Council. Mikey will send out an email to Anthony inquiring about their availability or next meeting.  

The addition of new email addresses was discussed.  Kati will provide the committee with contact information for Annette Carter for assistance with their new email addresses.  The new state officer email addresses will be published in the White Cane Bulletin and on the website.  Annette will also set up a list serv for the Executive Committee fcbec@fcb.org.  Kati will contact Annette to have this done.  

The new email address for scholarships is scholarships@fcb.org.  Sheila will provide Annette with forms or other documents used by the scholarship committee for the web page.      

New Business:  
The Activities Committee was discussed.  Mark Lear provided input regarding ways membership can pay prior to events to reimburse FCB should the organization need to pay for tickets prior to their event.  It was agreed that anyone who wishes to attend an event should pay FCB using Zelle or pay pal prior to the event.  The activities committee is so complex that Mikey would like to appoint two chairs, Greg Lindberg, and Cachet Wells.  Mikey will contact the current chair prior to the next scheduled event on August 10.  

Appointing chapter liaisons was discussed next.  It was decided that Kati would send out the current list.  All new officers should reply to the message with their preferred chapter.  

Date of the mid-year board meeting was mentioned.  Mikey will ask presidents for their preferences during the next president’s call scheduled for August 13, 2024.  

This was the last order of business.  Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mark Lear and seconded by Sheila Young.  The meeting was adjourned at08:47 PM.
