Goals

Constitution Working Group:

Karen and Cheryl have volunteered
Need to discuss possible changes
Library has approved the idea to make changes
Danada Dinsmore: working on drafts for different positions, almost like an official job description

Marketing Committee:

Talk to Bill Ghezzi (Karen) since he does some of this for us anyway

Program Committee:

Should we expand the committee?
Work on coordinating with other committees>
Goodie: not too interested in this approach, would rather just ask people to help when needed
Budget for programming? This would be helpful when trying to plan programs
- $200/year should be plenty
Would like to be able to offer something as thanks to presenters
Voted on by committee: Passed

Review Budget:

Wait until Barb Bushor comes back from leave since she is really familiar with the budget

Event Timing:

Think about when actual events are planned to think of ways to make them more accessible to as many as possible (covering desks, etc.)

Webpage Working Group:

Kathleen Kidd is stepping away
Security part was an issue, might present an obstacle to users
ASRT (Access Services Round Table) site, use as a model? Marcia is looking at this, needs input on content
Michelle Lee volunteered to help

Budget for Awards Banquet: (Marianne Densmore)

Hand out gift cards? Blue Sky and/or Borders?
E-mail honorees and ask their preferences
Catered lunch/buffet
September 11, 2008 from 12-2pm, 1902 room
DLG bookplate awards along with other awards?
