VII. Treasurers Report. See attached. Current balance is $46,096.00.  In regards to the narrative report, Bernard emphasized the easy banking process with Wells Fargo.  There is no need for officers to go into the bank to change names on the accounts when the officers change over at the end of their terms.  Additionally, there are more WellsFargo banks than Union in the event on-site banking is necessary.  Lastly, there is no online banking charges for organizations unlike Union.

IX. Standing Committee Reports

a. CMP. See attached.  Call for questions.  None.  To note, the Academic Coursework page of the CMP webpage is currently down in order to update the page and fix some of the bugs (i.e. paying for CEUs).  Taylor to follow-up with Crouse as to when the page will be up and running and individuals can resume paying for their CEUs online.  Call for further questions.  None.
 
b. Membership.  See attached.  The membership form has been updated to represent a 90 day processing time on hardcopy membership renewals/new memberships.  This is partly due to the current PO Box situation but mostly to the living distance between Treasurer and Membership Chair.  Even with the new PO Box a 90 day processing time could still occur given all board members live far distances from each other.  The 90 day is comprised of members mailing in their forms/checks to the PO Box; PO Box forwards the mail via USPS to Treasurer; Treasurer mails forms to membership chair.
