Wayne proposed that the American Indian Council disband, because of low participation and dwindling interest among members. He expressed his disappointment that the Department seems to be neglecting American Indian issues and we are losing Indian employees faster than we're gaining them. There was general agreement with his sentiments, but members present resisted the idea of disbanding. It was agreed that officers will meet next week on Tuesday the 14th at 1pm to discuss this issue further and try to figure out how to breathe new life into our organization. All are welcome to attend this meeting.
Location is to be announced.
Elections of officers for the year 2000 were held. Garet Moravec was elected Chair. Rick Chavez was elected Vice-Chair. Emily Wright was re-elected Historian. Emily reminded members that officers are limited to serving two terms, so she will not be able to run for office again next year.
