President’s Report It’s been even busier this month than last month. To see all the things I’m working on please check out the President’s Report in a new section of the website called BOD Reports. Going forward this is where all section directors, committee chairs and board officers will be uploading their reports for you to see. Historically writing reports was done twice per year just in time for what was called “The Board Packet” This 40 – 80 page document was distributed to board members only and meant to update the board on what’s happened since the previous board meeting. The reports were often quite long and difficult to write. The President often had a hard time getting Directors to submit them in time for the meeting. Many folks didn’t read the reports even if they did get them. It was a bit of a mess. I’m trying something new with the BOD report page. Each report provider emails a report 250- 500 words long. It gets posted to the website. All members including the BOD has permanent access to them. This first time around I received about half of the expected reports with most of the rest expected by the end of the month. Hop over there, read the President’s report and all the others as well.

BOD Documents Another valuable addition is the BOD documents page. The newest addition is the Book of Motions. This is a chronological list of every board motion made. It took countless hours to assemble this. The creator of the document is Gary Coyne. Most recently it was Nicholas Carpenter a newer member of the Southwest Section who added the last 15 years worth of records.
Video library I’ve said it before but this time I think we really are very close to releasing the first batch of symposium videos. Jill Korgimage has worked tirelessly on indexing and editing these files. Soon, very soon.
