Tony D.: Everyone please take your seats and we are calling the session to order on Wednesday, August 31 at 8:02 a.m. Let’s have a moment of silence followed by the Serenity Prayer. Thank you and I have asked Gregory A. to read “We Can Recover.” Thank you Gregory and I’ll ask everyone again to put your phones on vibrate. Paul has an announcement.
Paul M.: The Unity Luncheon is sold out of tickets but we have gotten the caterer to agree to bring some more food, so we have 7 more tickets.
Tony D.: We will be doing roll call and will start on my left starting with Sonya. Please state your name clearly, your affiliation and how many votes you have. We have 145 votes setting quorum at 97. Next on the agenda, we will return to the Trustee Election Committee approval. We researched last night and the TEC was asked to pass around a brief resume of the candidates.
Mike S.: MOTION in the future conferences that we dispense the resumes for review.
Tony D.: That motion is out of order.
Susan B.: Parliamentary Inquiry, I would like to see a ruling from the Chair that this violates Standing Rule 14.
Tony D.: I don’t believe that it does because the Committee was asked to present the information. It was human error.
