USARM Board Meeting Minutes
September 15, 2009
Attendees - Ron, Chris, Ken, Jan, Rosebud, Jim
Absent: Mike
| Special Guest - USARM Member – Corporate Counsel – Erica | |
| 1) | Concerned for the club about legal tax issues of old corporation versus new corporation. New Corporation is USARM, Inc. Not the full name. |
| 2) | Reviewed Contract approval policy. |
| 3) | Check signing policy – if the check is over $X maybe require 2 signatures. |
| 4) | Trade-Mark Issue. Should be no issue due to totally different business. We can also get our logo trade-marked and our name. $275-$325. Then 5-6th year updated. Then renewed every 10 years. Erica will help with that. On the trademark application we have to let them know when we first started to use it. Do we want to start when we first started to use it? Check with Angele for liability can we use the 1959 date or should we use the 2009 date. |
| 5) | Motion to cover cost for dinner with Erica where some of the Board will have a face to face with her to review docs and discuss further. MSP |
The Board of Directors thanks Erica for offering her time and counsel on our new set-up. We sure have lots of talent in this club!
