<b>Subject:</b> NEW DATE for the 2021 NCASG Virtual Meeting <br>
<b>Importance:</b> High<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings NCASG Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To provide the most comprehensive data available, our Tuesday, October 19, 2021 meeting to present the information collected for the NCASG Survey is being rescheduled. The meeting will now be held on Thursday, November 4, 2021.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After receiving 60% of the survey submissions after the deadline, the Executive Board and Survey Coordinators elected to reschedule the meeting to allow additional time to compile the late submissions. This decision was made to help NCASG
continue to provide thorough information that adds the most value to our membership. I’m happy to report that the Wage Survey had approximately a 70% participation rate – and, we have four returning states to the list of regular participants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in thanking our Survey Coordinators. They deserve a big pat on the back for their dedication to collecting and assembling the data. It’s not an easy task, and I know we all appreciate their work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the survey presentations, at our next meeting, we will announce our President-Elect, Ryan Beard, will take office as President and Toni Gillis will step back to Past President.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An invite to the virtual meeting will be sent closer to November 4<sup>th</sup> with specific times. Please hold your late morning/early afternoon open in the West and early afternoon to late afternoon in the Midwest and East.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you – enjoy your weekend!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings NCASG Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you are all enjoying your summer and staying healthy.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, I’m writing to share that our annual
<i>National Compensation Association of State Governments Conference</i> has to be cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. This was a difficult decision, but one that the NCASG Executive Board made with the health and safety of our members in mind. As you are aware,
Mississippi had planned to host our conference this year and Minnesota last year. Both states find next year challenging due to extraordinary business demands so we’re are looking for a state to host the 2022 Annual NCASG Conference. Please drop us an email
if your state is up to the task of hosting the 2022 NCASG conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although we will not be able to meet in person this year, we are planning to share the survey results in a virtual presentation on Tuesday, October 19, 2021. Following the virtual presentation we will have our business meeting to discuss
any proposed changes to bylaws and other business.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, it’s time for us to begin soliciting nominations for the following Officer positions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">President-Elect <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Treasurer<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Secretary <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nominations will be accepted now through September 7, 2021. Before submitting an individual for consideration, please ask the nominee if they are willing to perform the duties of the office. We have attached the bylaws where the responsibilities
of each office is outlined. Nominations should be emailed to <a href="mailto:Sheena.Buffi@dhr.idaho.gov">
Sheena.Buffi@dhr.idaho.gov</a>. At the close of the nomination period, NCASG Officers will send member states a ballot with the names of nominees and a deadline for submission. Each member state will have one vote. The election results will be announced during
the virtual meeting on Tuesday, October 19, 2021.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#201F1E">On behalf of the NCASG Executive Board, I thank you for your continued support of our organization.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#201F1E"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#201F1E">Please stay healthy and enjoy the rest of your summer.
