Three members are currently in violation of the attendance requirement. Steve Dufaud to reach out to Xiao Xiao Corbell, Karole Campbell to reach out to Jim Martin and Jake Harris. Our goal is to encourage attendance and renewed commitment if possible.

Membership:

The meeting was held today to review the interview with Dylan Davis of AmeriDri Restoration. Gentry Copelin and Heather Smith both feel that he will be a great addition to the group.

The motion was seconded by Heather Smith and all voting members present approved.

The absence of conflict was verified, and Dylan Davis is now a member. Heather Smith to reach out to him and his sponsor to share the news.

Addendum:

Matthew Palis of Infront Webworks has requested a leave of absence to attend to some personal family needs. An email was sent out on 01/23/2024 to the board and every member voted to approve this. He is expected to return in March. Karen Heun to check in with him to see how things are going at the end of February.
