Mike Tindal – 2002 Conference Status Report
Mike handed out a nice two page report that showed things are well in hand.  There are some specific unresolved items:
1.We have no keynote or dinner speakers yet.
2.The student contest is still in progress.
3.It was suggested that a conference theme might help organize us.

Ed Gellenbeck – Tour of CWU facilities for 2003 conference.

Rob Bryant – National Report
1.The minutes of the national board are at the website.
2.All registration is now to the local registrar who sends a copy to Cathy Bareiss.
3.The regions are becomming structurally aligned.
4.National is working on getting the new ACM curriculum converted to a small department version.

Rob Bryant – Regional Board change
Rob moved that the Editor and Conference Authors positions merge.  This is to keep us in line with the structure of the other regions and having all the regions similar in structure.  The motion was seconded and passed.  This will require a change in the Bylaws.  On discussing the wording of the change we discovered that we had different copies and memories of them.  (GH has sent out copies of the original and revised Bylaws to the board for a determination of the actual wording.)

Rob Bryant – 2004 site may be Willamette

Rob Bryant – Board expenses need to be charged to the conference via the Board Treasurer.  So far no one on the board has reported any expenses.

Rob Bryant – All finances will now go through the Board Treasurer who will work with the conference treasurer and the national treasurer.

I did not keep as complete notes as I usually do at the meeting since my writing hand was swollen to the size of West Texas; please let me know if I have omitted anything.
