The ILR Board of Directors teleconference meeting was called to order by President, Kathi McKinney, at 12:05 PM, EST. Present: Kathi McKinney, Sally Rucker, Mark Smith, Sally Taylor and Jan Wassink, Registrar.

Sally Rucker, motion: Approve minutes of March 6, 2007 meeting. Mark Smith: second. 3 Ayes.

The next board teleconference call will be Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 8:00 PM, EDT.

There has been no word from SLA regarding ILR's proposal to provide them a remote terminal to manage their data.

The nominating committee has three candidates for the 2007 election. The candidates' statements will be mailed by the end of March with the results announced by the end of April. The bylaw changes voted on at the face-to-face meeting in June of 2006 will be included with the ballots for vote by ILR members.

Kathi will touch base with Kay Sharpnack to see if ILR and ALSA can get another joint board call this spring.

There will be discussion regarding a possibility of hosting another conference cruise for 2009. The results of the post-cruise surveys are coming into the office now so the board will evaluate them and have further discussion at the face-to-face meeting this May.

Karen Baum joined the call.

The board brainstormed about how to get more enthusiasm in the llama industry by reviving the focus groups and creating committees to spearhead each group.

Work on the show module is proceeding and alpha testing will begin shortly

Meeting adjourned 12:40 PM, EDT

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor
Secretary
