President Report
Brian asked everyone to get an article submitted for the newsletter. He also was invited to attend the AVLIC convention in Ottawa, July 6 – 10. He will be attending. Brian is also responsible for inviting the parliamentarian to the conference. He will get the contact information from Leslie. It was decided that the new board will take on the responsibility of Strategic Planning. Therefore, the meeting we had scheduled in May in San Diego for this task is not mandatory. Those who can attend will do so.
Vice-President Report
Cindy reported that Lauri Metcalf, Conference Chair, has appointed most of the chairs for the conference. Cindy will ask Lauri to have the AV chairperson contact RID for the FM systems. Cindy will be working with ASLTA and the pre-conference people regarding rooms at the hotel. ASLTA will be offered two meeting rooms, but they need to pay separately for them.
Director of Professional Development Report
Laura reported that the ratings for the conference presentations are almost complete. There were over 80 proposals. She is working on details of the Mary Stotler award. We want to include a “Talk with the Board” forum at the conference to get feedback and to solicit ideas for the strategic plan. Laura and Brian will work on this.
The meeting was closed at 9:30 EST.
