T
HE Board of Control of the Na-
tional Association of Music Mer-
chants held a two-day session at
the Palmer House in Chicago on July
9th and 10th. The meetings actually
started on Sunday the 8th when the
By-Laws Committee made its report
on the revision of the by-laws to con-
form with the policies laid down by
the Board at the January meeting. The
result of this preliminary meeting
was that the business session was con-
cluded on July 9th instead of the 10th
as originally planned.
The new by-laws were adopted. Also
a comprehensive program which is
printed in this issue on another page.
But first and foremost, Executive Sec-
retary Mills was instructed to plan
for the following activities immedi-
ately :
1—Hold a minimum of five regional
meetings before the end of this
year. These will be held in Chi-
cago, Washington, D. C, Dallas,
Texas, Atlanta and other cities.
2—Prepare a merchandising service
in the form of a quarterly of
Christmas season bulletin with
general merchandising and ad-
12
vertising suggestions prepared by
the Advertising Advisory Commit-
tee.
3—Hold a sales training conference
jointly with the (> ce of Kduca-
tion of the Federal Security Ad-
ministration either in New York
or Chicago for the purpose of
ascertaining the practicability of
preparing a sales manual.
4—Watch the Washington Control
situation carefully and report to
members.
New officers were not elected at this
meeting as has been customary in the
past but Parker M. Harris, president
of Philip Werlein, Ltd., New Orleans,
La., was elected to the Executive Com-
mittee to fill a vacancy.
From the membership standpoint
the revision of the Constitution and
By-Laws was perhaps the most im-
portant step forward taken at the
present time.
The name of the association remains
the same. The time for the annual
meeting is designated "between the
first day of June and the first day of
September." Special meetings may be
called at any time by the President or
Board of Directors or by not less than
31 active members, providing they file
with the Secretary for posting a writ-
ten call over their own signatures.
The important changes in relation
to membership, dues and voting follow:
AHTICLK III
Membership
Section I. This Association shall be
composed of Active, Associate, Commer-
cial, CJuest and Honorary Members.
