Lusandra Harris, Sharon Schauer, and Sheila Blevins joined us on the telephone via conference call.

In the round Andy Lacy, Tami deRuiter, Mary Dysinger-Franklin, Jean Maiocco, Carol Campbell.

Meeting called to order to order at 1412. 

Andy Lacy’s last time with the Board Meetings.  He will continue to see us at the General Meetings and the MTUG meetings.

Lusandra Harris gave Jean Maiocco several dates for the calendar.  Jean almost has it finished and will send all of the board a copy of it to keep us on target for next year.

Jean Maiocco discussed the budget.  We discussed how the ADA Training this week was going to be paid.  It was decided that it was split between APCO and NENA and that left money in the budget to cover if Liz Hunt needed more supplies for the classes she teaches.  We discussed any overage for Liz’s supplies could come from the contingency fund.  Jean made a motion to accept the budget as it stands, Carol seconded it.  All APCO in attendance voted yes.

Tami deRuiter discussed the survey.  It has been on the web for several months and we have only received 33 responses.  All of the choices were pretty clear.  We discussed what day people would like to have meetings since several people brought up that issue.  We also discussed food at the meetings since this was the only close vote and it was decided that it was not economical enough to bring in food.  We will hand out the survery results at the General Meeting and discuss what days of the week they would like meetings and where they would like the picnic moved to and do they want to volunteer to plan the picnic.

Tami deRuiter asked if everyone was ready to be sworn in at the General Meeting.  APCO and NENA both stated they were ready.  Tami deRuiter will bring the ceremony statement.

Jean Maiocco asked if anyone had heard from Susan Loll about the laptop and how it was holding up.  No one had.  Carol Campbell stated that she was supposed to be getting a new one soon and then could compare them.  We will need to purchase a new one out of next year’s budget.

Meeting was adjourned at 1452.
