Call to Order

Attendance was taken and President Margaret (Peggy) A. Wood established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order at 9:06 a.m.

B11 - A - 1
Designation of CPA Member to Fill Nominating Committee Vacancy Pursuant to Bylaws Art. IX, Paragraph 7



Ms. Wood asked Mr. Piluso, the chair of the Selections Subcommittee, to address the Board.

Mr. Piluso noted that the Subcommittee met to propose three names to fill a vacant Nominating Committee seat that would then be provided to the Board of Directors. The subcommittee received only one name, James F. Passikoff, of the Mid Hudson Chapter. Mr. Piluso stated that Mr. Passikoff is past president of the Foundation for Accounting Education (FAE) and that he is likely known by all board members.

Mr. Piluso then solicited nominations from the floor. There were no nominations from the floor.

Ms. Jaeckle asked if Mr. Passikoff, as the only candidate, received the position by default, or if the position could be left vacant. Ms. Joanne Barry responded that the bylaws required that a vacancy on the nominating committee be filled by Board designation. Mr. Piluso provided additional biographical information on Mr. Passikoff and confirmed his ability to attend the Nominating Committee meeting in person.

Ms. Levine moved to designate James F. Passikoff to fill the vacancy on the Nominating Committee, and Mr. Fitzsimons seconded the motion. After discussion, the motion passed. Ms. Wood, Mr. Herman, and Ms. Jaeckle abstained.

There being no further business before the Board, Ms. Levine moved to adjourn the meeting, and Mr. Weintraub seconded the motion. After discussion, the motion passed without objection.
