December Board Meeting

Today I participated in a conference call board meeting. The primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss the St. Louis International Conference. Conference Planning Committee Chair, Laura Coburn gave us an overview of some of the conference activities and re-emphasized that this conference would be "creative and different" because for the first time, the conference would be done completely without help from a local chapter or workforce agency. She specifically asked board members to help solicit donations to cover conference training and entertainment. Laura also asked each district to be responsible for a carnival game at the Missouri Night function (sounds fun!). Laura indicated that the agenda for the conference will be posted on the IAWP Web site in January. There are many assignments that still need people to cover and those opportunities will also be posted on the site. The board will meet again on January 20, 2011 for a regular board meeting.
