Jan briefed the BOD on updates for some of our on-going projects. In general things are moving along according to schedule. Due to the early date of the meeting this month the financial reports were not yet available. There was also some discussion of the legal status of the ARI collection action. Jan also gave an overview of possible staffing changes for next year.

The membership mailing has been printed and mailed. The printing was done by the new tenant in the ILR building who operates a commercial print shop. Jan was very impressed with the accuracy and cost effective job they did.

After discussion it was decided that Karen Baum and Sally Taylor will work on revision of the screening policy with the goal of having a completed version for discussion at the 2006 face-to-face meeting

The ILR website update is being worked on by the office. Jan will work on posting the pages for the focus groups.

Mark made a report on the FFA meeting and how enthusiastic the participants were. He was very positive about the cooperation among the four organizations ALSA, ILR, ICI and LANA to promote llamas. He is excited about the prospects for next year and other promotional projects. Sally Rucker will write thank you notes from the BOD to those involved.

There was discussion about how ILR might help to facilitate FFA participation in llama project nationwide, with the suggestion ILR advertise in the FFA magazine. We will discuss this further at the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 2:00PM, MST.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor
