State Recording Secretary

Jerilyn Klein

The primary duty of the Office of the Recording Secretary is to record and preserve all minutes of the Iowa Society -- State Conference, the Fall Forum and the Executive Committee. Minutes from these meetings comprise the Official Record of the Iowa Society, and are published in a book of Proceedings at the end of the State Regent’s term.

Part of that job is to ensure that each Chapter Regent, State Chairman and State Officer files an annual report detailing the successes and activities of her chapter or committee for the Brunia Administration proceedings book. You may use any standard word processing program to complete your report. It should be no longer than what you can reasonably speak in the two-minute time period. Reports to be given at State Conference need to be sent to this Officer and the State Regent, no later than March 15. This includes the reports of all State Officers, State Chairmen and Chapter Regents.

Another duty of the Recording Secretary is to compile, publish, and maintain a directory listing of the Iowa Society State Officers, State Chairmen and Chapter Regents, Vice-Regents, Treasurers and Registrars. The ISDAR Directory is available on the ISDAR Website.

Please be sure to keep your chapter officer information current with NSDAR through eMembership or by emailing the Organizing Secretary General at organizing@dar.org. Correct contact information is vital to maintain and build communication between our members at both the chapter and state levels.

The Recording Secretary takes care of the “Blue Mailboxes” that travel to state meetings. Each chapter regent, state officer and committee chair is responsible to claim her mail – certificates, invitations, etc. Unclaimed materials will be mailed by USPS to the chapter regent, and the chapter billed for postage.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact this state officer. Thank you for your service to Iowa Society DAR!
