A motion was made to suspend the application process on pursuing tax exempt status. The Motion was accepted unanimously. Karen reported on the preparations for the mid winter conference. The Keynote speaker is set, and 115 session proposals have been received. Karen is preparing a database on Midwinter Conference material.
Several presenters are from out of state.
There is also the issue of the Laptop lab for the midwinter conference and the cost of setting it up for the conference. Karen has been in touch with Barb VanHorn regarding a better price for the lab. Also, some presenters are going to want to have Internet connections for their presentations. Hershey Lodge is charging a very high cost for internet access. The board had decided to table that topic for now, and discuss it at a later date via a conference call.
