PR/Marketing Committee
This committee consists of Maurice Hale, Michael Glasco, Eric Rice and Jonathon Pryor currently. Our job is to create a winning professional image for the college. In my opinion, this includes a marketing piece, meaning a view book of local alumni and students and success stories featuring GLAMAA. We also want to create a social image as well. Everything is up for discussion. Lets get together.
Membership/Reclamation comittee
This committee consists of Michael Glasco, Chris McGee, Jacques Sexton and Jason May . We had a survey that went out last year and we had some initial research conducted by Michael Glasco and Tommy Brewer to build on, but there is much work to do. Please get together amongst yourselves to plan to meet, to come up with suggestions, a format and a game plan. I would like to work with you, because I have some ideas. One of these is to send out self addressed, stamped envelopes to our members to solicit dues for this year. It might be the push they need. Also, at the same time I would like to link this group with some of the other activities we have underway. One of these is to as alumni if they would like to present our marketing materials to their job to solicit contributions for scholarships or functions. Another is to offer Alumni the opportunity to buy college and Alumni Association Paraphernalia with their returned information. Such as offering them a choice of t-shirts, window stickers, license plate holders, or other items that they can purchase as well as the dues. Lets get together soon.

Dr. Robert Franklin visit
Gentlemen,
On Sept 24, the newly appointed president of Morehouse College was in Los Angeles to film a segment for the upcoming UNCF Evening of Stars Program. He took this opportunity to meet with Board of Trustee Members the West. He also asked Henry Goodgame to invite a small contingent from GLAMAA to join him for breakfast, so that he could introduce himself to us, and get a feel for the alumni association. We were asked to invite a limited number of guests for intimate, semi-formal affair at the Marmalade Café in El Segundo. I made a list of some of the most active and supportive members of our local alumni chapter, and cleared it with school. They added names they wanted included as well. The result was an even collection of 25 distinguished men from classes from 1950 to 2005 The school was very pleased. In addition, Mr. G. Bernard Brown made a large donation to the school and presented it during the introductions. From every indication, we made a great impact on the new President, and his attendants. In the future, there is every indication that his trips to the LA area will include the same sort of breakfast meeting with the Men of the Greater Los Angeles Alumni Association. Through your participation and support, we hope that you will be chosen to join us next time.

2008 Elections, Oct. 26
The Attached document, contains a proposed a standardized procedure for all future elections, descriptions of officers/board of directors, and the current, Bylaws of the Greater Los Angeles Morehouse Alumni Association .
The highlighted areas in this documents are deadlines that can be changed based upon the approval of the current General Body.
In regards the Directors, my concern is that the current Bylaws vaguely identifies the description of Vice President, and does include the 2nd Vice President, and the Financial Secretary as Directors.
Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, I will not be able to attend tonight's meeting.
If you have any questions please feel free to respond to me I will be at work until 3:15pm
Thank you
