Board agreed to have Dana serve as Chapter President for 2003-04, leaving the position of President Elect open for this period.  A special election will be held for this position with nominations open until May 12.  The Board asked Shawna if she would be interested in the position and Shawna agreed to the nomination. Election procedures will depend on the number of nominations received.  The Board asked Scott Azbill to become the Chapters new Webmaster and Scott accepted the challenge. Mike and Scott will meet before May 2 to review policy, procedure, etc.

MHIMA State Conf., May 7-9.  Sponsor booth? - Van
Board agreed that we should not participate this year due to the short notice and lack of time to prepare.  Next year we will look into sponsoring a booth, speaker, or some other form of Chapter presence.

Program Updates

March 19th Program - Centra Care

• Audio/visual was a problem.  Some solutions could be to limit the font size used in the presentations, use established procedures (Sheryl will get these to Jeff) and use Envoy as a hub.  Shawna and Jeff will work with Sheryl to overcome these problems.  Sheryl volunteered to coordinate future programs.

May All-Day Program - Carlson School

• Steve P. had a mock-up of the brochure and copies of the keynote speaker presentation.  Brochures will go the printer the week of 4/14; a copy will go to Mike to be put on the web.  Scott will work with Mike on this project.  Brochures will be mailed as well as posted on the web site by 4/18.  Envoy will cover the cost of folding/mailing the brochure.  E-mail schedule is 4/28, 5/13, and 5/19 or 20. 

• About half of the speaker forms for CEU's have been filled out.  By the 4/11 all of the speakers and topics will be locked in.  We have applied for 7 to 7.5 CEU's for the event. 

• The U of M has agreed to pay for airfare for Andy W. (speaker) and the Chapter agreed to pay for the hotel (approx. $250.00).  Honorariums of $250.00 for keynote speaker and the board approved $100.00 for all other speakers.
