There was nothing new to report on ARI. The Suri Llama Association (SLA) setup is proceeding according to plan. Jan and Dar will attend the SLA conference in June. A new employee has been hired part-time to help with filing and miscellaneous office tasks.

Mark reported that there is some chance llama representation might not be able to attend the FFA conference this year due to lack of space. He will advise us of further developments.

There was discussion of the 2007 Conference and the survey that was taken on-line. It was decided that Kathi McKinney will contact other associations to ask for representatives to join ILR on a committee to brainstorm the conference idea.

The nominations committee is working on the 2006 election.

The board approved a letter to the IRC Council.
