IT Issue
K. Herrington noted that she had an issue utilizing the NOW class list to issue an e-mail to her class from home when there was a snow delay. She was originally told that it could not be done, however Dave Hanes was able to individually configure her system to allow her to do this. She later talked to Steve Lipello and was asked to copy him on any future IT issues.

Executive Committee Elections
Executive Committee Election has taken place, however results will be sent via e-mail next week due to the Secretary’s illness.
Election of Officers
Election of officers will be deferred to April, due to the new executive committee not being announced.
Committee Assignments
K. Herrington distributed a list of committees that she drafted and their role as standing or ad hoc. She asked for input concerning the time commitment and membership on the committees.

Further discussion on how we can rotate the membership will be forthcoming. Please send any input to K. Herrington.
