4. MBTI Results
1. 15 attended, 12 gave back the evaluations – lowest was a good
2. Suggested we not do it this coming year as we have done it 3 in a row now.
5. New Items
1. Ballots and Elections

                                                              i.      First Term Director suggestions – Ayodele (GW), Joe Hill (UMBC), Don Braniger (? Sp.)(St. Mary’s), Rita (UMCP), Kevin Mann (Salisbury)

                                                          iv.      Wily volunteered to make up ballots.

                                                            v.      Bob will need Bio’s for mailing if possible

2. Outcomes of other meetings – Sheri passed around the financial results of the other meetings.  The other two chapter meetings lost money, MBTI made money.  Attendance has been up this year.
3. Mailing list updates – Bob will have it at the desk this coming meeting if anyone wants to verify it.  Also, he will come up with a form to add people to it.
4. Wily brought up the topic of a new board position for the education representative to ERAPPA.  At the last meeting they (ERAPPA) was having trouble keeping stuff rolling as people changed in the chapters too frequently.  They wanted to get chapters to appoint a representative for multiple years.  We checked our by-laws and the Board can (and did) make such a position for Wily.  It will be announced at the September meeting to the general membership.
5. Dennis will go in place of Kevin early to the ERAPPA meeting in Burlington.
6. Kevin wants to be nominated for a Director with ERAPPA so Dennis will have to lobby for him.
7. We discussed next years schedule and set up tentative dates as follows: March 9, June 15, and September 21.  The Board Retreat is scheduled for November 16/17 again at Turf Valley.  We are trying to get new schools to host the meetings.  Some suggestions are: St. Mary’s, GW, Catholic, Smithsonian, UMBC, or UMCP.  There will be a blurb in the flyer to get in touch with the Board members if you think your institution would be able to host a meeting.

Meeting adjourned at about 12:00

After lunch some of us went to Aquarium to meet with the staff there to solidify what we wanted to do.  Gary will get back to Bob with a summary of the tours.
