A
meeting of the DACS Board of Directors was held at the RC on
Monday, March 11, 2002. Present were Messrs Bovaird, Buoy, Cohen,
Greger, Neary, Ostergren, Pearson, Preston, and Setaro and Mrs.
Gaberel. President Ostergren presided and Secretary Buoy kept
the record of the meeting. President Ostergren announced that this year’s Intergalactic Conference would be held (tentatively) on April 20 at an as yet undecided location. Directors Ostergren, Neary and Setaro expressed interest in attending. During discussion of the effects of the advertising initiative, Charlie Bovaird reported that, of the twelve visitors who registered at last Tuesday’s General Meeting, six acknowledged that they were prompted to attend through the advertisement. In addition, five of the visitors, without reference to the reason for attendance, became new members. An extensive discussion ensued, regarding presentations for the General Meetings. The focus was on presentations by members, as opposed to those by the dwindling number of vendors available. Several known specialities within the membership were explored for possible presentations, including digital photography, the transcribing of archival audio and video formats to CD or DVD and small business oriented subjects. President Ostergren queried the nominating committee regarding nominees for the office of President. Jim Scheef then announced that he intended to run for the office. He continued with a statement of some of the priorities he would pursue as president, including possible revision of the cover format of the dacs.doc newsletter and also the availability of the advertising rate card on our Web site. It was then suggested that Regular Meetings of this Board be convened at 7:00 pm, rather than at 7:30 pm, and, after discussion, it was unanimously agreed to do so. —Larry Buoy |
