1. Staff and Contract Status 
   -------------------------

a) The Executive Director contract is up for renewal on Monday, 
    2 October 1995.

b) The System Administration contract expired on Friday, 14 July 1995.
    The new contract begins on Monday, 17 July 1995.
    This contract will be up for renewal on Friday, 29 December 1995.

c) The Director of Development Contract will be up for renewal on 
    Monday, 31 December 1995.  

d) The Administrative Coordinator is a full-time employee.
    Mike will be leaving for Toronto in the late fall of 1995. 
    The job description is being re-written to reflect increased support of
    the Executive Director and greater emphasis on administrative and 
    operational activities. 

2) An Executive Director "To Do List" is now On-line
   -------------------------------------------------

A new on-line area for the Executive Director has been created. This 
currently includes the ED job description and a "To Do List." The main 
goal of this area is to serve as a communications tool. New items may be 
added as needed.

To find the area, look under "go operations" item 10. Executive Director 
Information, or type "go exec" to view the ED job description and to 
scroll through the regularly updated "To Do List". 

3) Volunteer Update
   ----------------

The NCF Contact List:

To view the NCF contact list, type "go operations" and choose item 2. 
"NCF Contact List." This list is updated regularly by the Volunteer 
Coordinators and contains Board, Staff and volunteer names, titles, and 
membership IDs. Phone numbers are visible to only those on the list.

NCF Board Liaisons:

We need to re-vitalize Board interaction within many of NCFs volunteer 
activities. I will be asking Board members at the meeting to reconfirm 
which groups, if any, they are available to act as a liaison for. We will be 
using the reference sheet in Section 2 of the Board manual entitled 
"1995 areas of focus for individual NCF Board members."

Meeting of NCF volunteers in key positions:

We are planning a meeting of staff and all volunteers in contact roles for 
early August. Board liaisons are also encouraged to attend. The agenda, 
time, date and location will be mailed to everyone soon.
