- ILReport:
Alan Schmautz presented a discussion of the ILReport.
We need to focus the direction for the ILReport.
Long term goals are to have a semi-monthly publication, make the
ILReport self- supporting and to incorporate color.
Jan and Alan will set up a advertising rate schedule to present to
the BOD. The consensus of the
BOD was to stick to our deadlines and not postpone publication to
accommodate late articles or news releases.
The BOD spent time with Alan brainstorming for articles and content
for future publications. The regular meeting was reconvened after the Annual
Meeting to continue discussion of the ILReport.
Meeting
adjourned at
10:55 AM
in preparation for the
11:00 AM Annual Meeting.

and the improvements that have been implemented over the past several years.

software design is complete and ready for sale.

Planning: Art Kennel reviewed the priorities of the
Strategic Planning Committee including member services, organization,
