Department Order #7

Series 2020-2021

13 August 2020

 

DEPARTMENT AND CAMPS USING ELECTRONIC MEETINGS

Section 1: On 2 July 2020, Commander-in-Chief Edward J. Norris issued General Order #31, and Section 5 of his Order states “General Order No. 22, Series 2019-2020, which allows all Departments and Camps to conduct electronic based meetings or provide electronic participation, has an end date of August 15, 2020. That end date has been extended until the new National Officers have been duly elected and installed or a subsequent General Order modifies that end date.”

 Section 2:  The Coronavirus Pandemic has created problems with the Department and our Camps being able to meet and this will probably continue well into next year. The Department and some Camps have been meeting using the vendor Zoom, and at my request, Department Signals Officer Jim Johnson conducted a study and provided information to the Department with his recommendation that the Department and Camps continue meeting using Zoom Pro.

Section 3:  On August 12, 2020, all seven of our elected Department Officers met electronically to review Signals Officer Jim Johnson’s recommendations and agreed to use Zoom for future meetings and provide the ability to Camps to also meet using Zoom. Camps will each be assessed $18 for the annual use of the Department Zoom account.

Section 4:  Camps can now start meeting using the Department Zoom account, and Department Signals Officer Jim Johnson will manage and coordinate the use of this Zoom account and shall be the contact person for all Camps and the Department for its use.

Section 5:  Secretary-Treasurer Travis Masters, PCC will be responsible for payments to Zoom for its usage by the Department and Camps.

Section 6: All Camps of the Department are to issue a check in the amount of $18 payable to the Department of North Carolina and send it to Secretary-Treasurer Travis Masters, PCC at 820 Lake Park Drive, Apartment 205, Davidson, NC 28036. These Camp payments are to be received by the Department no later than 30 days from the date of this Order.

So ordered this 13th Day of August 2020
