Region V Report<br />
Minutes<br />
Region V held its business session on March 23, 2012, during <strong>Alpha</strong> <strong>Chi</strong>’s Super-Regional Convention in Baltimore, Maryland.<br />
The meeting was called to order by President Stephen Rowe (Concord University). Region V Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Paul Michelson<br />
(Huntington University) called the roll. There were 9 chapters present, with a total <strong>of</strong> 55 delegates.<br />
Minutes. The minutes <strong>of</strong> the 2011 Regional Meeting in San Diego CA were approved as published in the <strong>Alpha</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Recorder.<br />
The President made some opening remarks.<br />
Secretary-Treasurer's Report. Dr. Michelson presented the secretary-treasurer’s report. Our financial situation is stable, but<br />
going to a Super-Regional system has increased our costs, since travel to national locations is more expensive than regional travel. He<br />
presented a review <strong>of</strong> regional budgets since 2002 which reflects that trend. He noted that the next national convention will be in<br />
Nashville, Tenn., in 2013.<br />
Discussion <strong>of</strong> the Super-Regional Concept. The region seems generally to support the idea <strong>of</strong> national meetings every year. The<br />
increased contact with students in more academic areas make for a broader sharing <strong>of</strong> ideas. National meetings have more "prestige"<br />
than a regional gathering from the standpoint <strong>of</strong> presenters. The region favors preserving regional contacts, perhaps with a regional<br />
luncheon at every convention. The regional mixer was a good idea. There was little sentiment for abolishing the region, but little<br />
sentiment for having region only meetings.<br />
Star Chapter Recognition. The following chapters from Region V received the Star Chapter Award for 2012: Anderson<br />
University, Concord University, Grace College, Huntington University, and University <strong>of</strong> Indianapolis. Certificates were presented to<br />
these schools.<br />
Regional Scholarships. Dr. Michelson commended the student presenters for their efforts and quality <strong>of</strong> their work and warmly<br />
thanked all those who served on the scholarship committees. Scholarship Committee: Dr. Rowe (chair); Dr. Linda Cowan (West<br />
Liberty University); Dr. Craig Rogers (Campbellsville University); and Ms. Kaylee Knotts (West Liberty University). Fellowship<br />
Committee: Pr<strong>of</strong>. Vickie Tinsley (Brescia University) chair; Dr. James Bray (Blackburn College); Dr. Amy Hlavacek (Saginaw Valley<br />
State University); and Josefine Grups, (Brescia University). The 2012 Regional V Undergraduate Scholarship was awarded to Mr.<br />
Anthony Frederick (Huntington University) and Ms. Valerie Muñoz (Anderson University) was the alternate. The 2012 Region V<br />
Graduate Fellowship was awarded to both Ms. Nicole Schanke (Huntington University) and Ms. Andrea Whitacre (Anderson<br />
University). Dr. Michelson announced that he was hopeful we could do all <strong>of</strong> the scholarship/fellowship applications next year online.<br />
2013 President's Cup Nominations. The region decided to nominate for the 2013 President's Cup Brescia University and<br />
Huntington University.<br />
Election <strong>of</strong> Regional Officers for 2012-2014. To resolve a conflict with <strong>Alpha</strong> <strong>Chi</strong>'s bylaws, which we found out don't allow<br />
regional presidents and vice presidents to be re-elected, we flipped the <strong>of</strong>fices with the following result: President Dr. Joseph<br />
Lehmann (Grace College), Vice President Dr. Stephen Rowe (Concord University), <strong>Student</strong> Representative to National Council Ms.<br />
Alysha Mroczka (Grace College). Dr. Paul Michelson (Huntington University) continues as Secretary-Treasurer until 2014.<br />
There being no other business or discussion, Dr. Rowe adjourned the meeting.<br />
