POAG EXECUTIVE MINUTES - January 2003: 

             The Executive Committee of the Peace Officers’ Association of Georgia, Inc. held a meeting at 10 A. M., January 13, 2002, at the Holiday Inn, Macon, Georgia.  Committee members attending included President Harry Colbert, Vice President Homer Bryson, Board Member Gary Hill, and Legislative Chairman Bob Brown.  Board Member Keith Moran, Secretary-Treasurer John Conley, Public Relations Director Jimmy Jones, Executive Director Marion Conley,  Attorney Frank Childs and Chaplain Jimmy Waters were unable to attend. Visitors included Carson Knight. 

The meeting was called to order and a welcome given all in attendance by President Harry Colbert.  

The minutes and financial report from December, 2002 were approved upon a motion from Bob Brown.  The motion was seconded by Homer Bryson and passed. 

No one had heard from Board Member Keith Moran concerning the bulletproof vest from Quantico.  President Colbert volunteered to contact Keith, hopefully before going to the Chief’s Conference to ascertain the status of this project. 

President Colbert asked for input on the days to attend the Chief’s conference at Callaway Gardens January 26-28, 2003.  It was decided to leave on Sunday, January 26, 2003, stay the night and return Monday after speaking to the conference delegates.  Executive Director Frank Rotundo had advised President Colbert that POAG would be given about ten minutes on the agenda Monday morning.  POAG would follow Governor Perdue’s speech.  Time wise, Director Rotundo thought it would be somewhere 9:30 A.M. 

It was decided the date and time for the February meeting would be set later and all parties notified of this information. 

 A motion by made by Bob Brown, seconded by Gary Hill and passed to adjourn to the trip to the Capitol for Governor Elect Sonny Perdue’s inauguration.
