New Business: Mark Jacobsen. Presented schematic of how he would like SIG conference to look. Dana informed him that he is the moderator of that conference and he has the ability to add folders, etc. within the conference. Dana also impressed that anyone who wishes to attend the ExChange Planning committee which meets on the first Saturday of each month are more than welcome to come present their ideas. A detailed presentation portfolio is recommended so the ExChange Committee will know exactly what the presenter is asking them to do.
Charles Wheeler suggested we sell sponsorships (aka, advertising time) to various industry related companies to have their logo, or advertisement flashing on the screen prior to main meetings. Suggested $100 would give them a 1/8th page ad in the newsletter plus the 1/2 hour time prior to main meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
