WAOE cannot at this time pay any salaries to any of our elected or appointed officers. For the time being, we need to rely on the voluntary efforts of members who have agreed to participate because they wish to help WAOE reach its educational and professional goals. I would recommend against WAOE attempting to pay salaries until we have sufficient funds already available to cover the various payroll deductions and at least a full year's salary for each officer to whom we might want to pay a salary.
Of our five directors, only two at any one time can be receiving compensation for their work as directors or officers of WAOE. Again, since we do not have the funds set aside for this purpose yet, I would recommend against WAOE paying compensation to any director.

I agree with recommendation (made by Jenna Seehafer)not to pay WAOE directors and appointed officers any compensation and work on voluntary basis at this time.

I understand that, in our current financial position as stressed by Jenna, we cannot contemplate compensation for expenses to any member, let alone remuneration to Directors. However, these are already important issues for some voluntary participants (me being one of them) and I would like to see us handle the item in a way that clearly keeps the issues on the table. Accordingly, I move ...
That WAOE shall not pay salaries or other remuneration or make reimbursements for expenses to Directors or other office holders or members prior to the determination of budgeted income and expenditure for the period July 1 1999 to June 30 2000; and
That such payments shall be subject to the adoption by not later than the end of August 1999 of policy and procedure regarding salaries, remuneration and reimbursement of expenses, including a commitment to annual review of the policy and procedure and schedule of payments.
