The minutes of the Retreat Meeting were approved as written. The Board agreed to continue to post a copy to the website. Absence will be noted as excused or unexcused.

Treasurer’s Report
The Treasurer will present documents to the Board quarterly. The Treasurer will provide the current balance to the Board via email.

Review Roles & Responsibilities
Went over the list developed at the retreat. Mike will be responsible for Certifications and Education. Discussion followed about the upcoming certificate—C.P.S.M.—in 2008. Mike is conducting a C.P.M. review course over two Saturdays (11/4 & 11/18). Kym suggested a new Board member for Communications.

Phone Calls To Membership
Each Board member talked about their results in reaching the members on their list. Most had difficulty reaching people live. Jennifer volunteered to create a spreadsheet to show the data we are capturing.

Membership Discussion
Kym presented her prototype on membership benefits. This can be used as a hand-out at gatherings and when meeting others. Kym was given the go-ahead to proceed.

Satellite Seminar
At this time we have no venue for the October 12 Satellite Seminar. Gerry will continue to pursue this as these events have been well received.

Joint Dinner Program
The joint dinner meeting will be on November 2. Jennifer will email the postcards. Board agreed that these should go out on October 12. Steve will send out an email 7-10 days before the dinner meeting. Steve will check on the other arrangements, such as reservations.

Program Schedule Through January
We confirmed our Board meeting dates. Mike will be unable to attend 10/12. The 12/14 date is in jeopardy. We will confirm the date at our next meeting. We had tentatively scheduled the seminar by Brian Isikoff the week of January 18. Gerry had met with Golden Gate University (Walnut Creek site) to see about their capabilities for both satellite seminars and other programs. They do not have a satellite. They do have several rooms that could be used for seminars. These are more often available during the week. They are more busy during the evenings and weekends. A copy of GGU-Room Rental Tenancy Agreement was provided to the Treasurer and President for review. One requirement is insurance which Jennifer will check out. Gerry will follow-up with GGU regarding room availability the week of January 18.

Review and Approve Documents
Steve distributed new copies to the Board. Each Board member will review so that these documents can be approved at the next meeting.

Supply Knowledge
Gerry is currently updating the list of our members and will forward to John Semanik. This list shows adds, deletes and changes and is sent quarterly.

Open Discussion
We took a quick look through our website through an on-line hook-up. We are concerned about the resume section and want to look into this further.
