VI New Business
The Chairman’s agenda included the topics of FUNDS DISTRIBUTION and ELECTIONS AND BY-LAWS AMENDMENTS. His absence from the meeting tabled any meaningful discussion of these topics. Lon asked if anyone had any thoughts on whether we should continue to accumulate funds or spend them down to the $ 4000 minimum. Duke suggested that funds be allowed to accumulate pending identification of a legitimate need. All present agreed with Duke.
The BOD agreed to include the following information from the Chairman’s agenda regarding the impact of his pending military deployment on NASAA elections:
Note:
Due to pending mobilization, the chair won’t be in a position to give this critical annual function due attention. Someone will have to step up and take the lead to insure the membership has a chance to compete for the BOD seats. Seats No 2, 4, and 6 are on the block. The seats up for re-election include those of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the BOD.
VII Adjournment

It was agreed to complete any unfinished business of this meeting via e-mail among the BOD. On the basis of these agreements, the meeting was adjourned at 21:46 EST.
