Minutes of Board Meeting

June 5, 2008

             The board meet at the ASI building in Research Park. The following persons were present: Georgia Colleen Cain (president-elect), Amy Heard (past president) John Hightower (treasurer), and Cathy Ciliax (board member at large).

             Colleen presided because Georgia Wertman was not able to attend. However, the board did consult with Georgia by telephone.

             John agreed to act as secretary for the meeting.

             The minutes from the May meeting were reviewed.

             John presented the financial report for the year to date. It was accepted by consensus.

             Kathy Ciliax reported that our meeting feedback forms indicated that attenders wanted more networking opportunities. Since Georgia was already working on ideas for ice breakers (which would provide greater networking opportunities), the board encouraged Georgia to proceed with that idea for the next meeting.

             The board discussed various aspects of the upcoming showcase, including the number of presenters and vendors, the presenter guidelines, and food prices. By consensus, the board set the price for assistants for presenters, assistants for vendors (for the Expo), and for volunteers at $30.
