Minutes: Minutes for the prior meeting were not available.

Treasurer’s Report: Sarah Bacha presented the report. Robin Hepler volunteered to audit the books for the year.

Programming: Jennifer said one of the presenters in the ethics program objected to having audio of the session posted on the Web site. After some discussion about this, it was decided that we would post the audio and would develop a policy for future situations.
