President Harrington discussed the new conference vendor fee with the board and the board discussed the chapter business meeting and decided to move the meeting to Tuesday after the training session.

President Harrington discussed the issue of giving district representatives voting powers. District Representative Copeland suggested the board assign specific duties to the district representatives before giving voting powers. District Representative Godley advised the board that he currently meets with new graduates, emails members in his district, and provides information for most questions to members who contact him have.

First Vice President Carver suggested to the board that some district representatives are not being supported by their departments. He suggested the board follow the chapter by-laws more closely and require letters of commitment from members wishing to hold representative positions to ensure commitment. S/T Isenhour cited a lack of participation by representatives who are being nominated to positions without letters or being present at meetings. President Harrington advised the board that no position will be filled without a commitment letter being submitted.
