IV. Executive Director Update

A.

Kolt gave the Executive Director's Update

Kolt uncovered that there are two Stripes accounts for MACS.   The one that is public facing not the website has been compromised.  This second account was done July 2024 when Salesforce moved the account to Stripes.  

Thus any payment by board members or others were going to this unattached account to the MACS website.  In the meantime, MACS has to do a clean up of what looks like some fraudulent charges before claiming the balance that is MACS legitimately.

 

Kolt has started the process by filtering the charges by amounts in order to report back to 

Stipes.  It was recommended to close this Stripes account once this is cleared and go with another third party that will be attached to MACS' website.

V. Closing Items

There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 8:05 PM.
