COMMITTEE REPORTS:
· Training
§ Charly advised that everything is pretty much ready to go for conference and that she is just waiting on course descriptions from Mike Clark (2nd) who will be providing 6 hours of training in place of two presenters who cancelled. She asked about compensation for Mike since he will be presenting. Discussion was had and it was agreed since the board asked him to present, he does not fall under Standing Rule #10 so it was agreed to waive his registration and would pay for the hotel room.
§ The current travel restrictions are set to expire at the end of January so at this time we are proceeding as if the conference will happen.
§ Chris advised that the Spring 2023 contract is in limbo due to the change in dates and that he would look into it.
