OLD BUSINESS:

Board Reports:
Patty Flanagan – Office Manager – “We Can Recover” has not been reprinted. The dress code for office staff is to be casual business. Draft of 2007 Registration form not received. Lack of 2006 website is causing overwhelm of WSO staff – Houston would like to create site themselves and have approved copy but WSOB has not seen or approved. Jay is on it. (Written report submitted)
Executive Session for Miss Patty’s review (not part of minutes)

Brian W. – Acting Treasurer: We’re doing all right. He’ll fix oversight. (Written Report Submitted) Have not received the hotel bill or credit from 05 Conference.

Susan B. brought forth a proposal presented at the last PS Regional Assembly regarding a single 800 and web address to service the California Areas in the Region for Public Information purposes. Since at least 5 of the Areas share the same media market, Consolidating efforts and working together could expand outreach efforts. It was suggested that I bring to the WSOB in consideration of new phone system to see if that might be part of the solution.
