Under old business Amy
Clute asked those present their thoughts on the NYSASIC website. Deb
Burnham said it was great. Monica Farquhar Brennan said it must be
helpful in saving postage. Amy Clute confirmed that the website helps
cut down on postage but indicated the association is still sending out
some hardcopies. Amy also mentioned that some vendors are using the
wrong forms. Vendors should use vendor forms not municipal
forms. Amy has also received calls from some counties who have
discovered our association as a result of our website. Jennifer
Pitarresi asked about the outdated agenda on the website. Amy indicated
it is a sample.
Amy asked for any
comments on the continuing education credits. Monica Farquhar Brennan
said the credits are helpful and reasonably priced. Amy said
approximately 20 attendees took advantage of the credits.
For new business Susan
Lent reported that the Board passed that our association will do a
Memorandum of Opposition to the proposed changes to expand a leave of
absence under Section 71 NYS Civil Service Law. Susan also mentioned
that there is a NYSAC booklet that her county received that has a good
article on risk management in nursing homes and a section on legislative
updates. Bill Baker from Saratoga received it from NYSAC by asked to be
on the mailing list.
