Minutes
November minutes approved. 

Membership
Our current membership is 68.  Carla will continue to work on membership until she relocates.

Events
We need to advertise our events at least one month ahead of time.  Using this guide will help us schedule the events for 2009.
Debra will check Club Sport as a potential site for events.

Career Event Workshop—February/March
We may want to have this on Saturday morning as a workshop will work better on then rather than during the week.  It gives more time to devote to the activities and may foster more networking.  Steve is meeting with the guys who will put this on and will provide more concrete detail at our next Board meeting. At this time we are thinking late February/early March might be the best time.

Satellite Seminar—April

Supplier Event--May
Jennifer had been trialing an email voting method.  We want to get feedback and commitment from our members to hold such an event.   Survey monkey might be a way to do this.

Next Meeting
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.

Respectfully submitted,

Gerry Bryant
Secretary
