Newsletter went out on October 11, 2001.

Cathy, Steve, and Dee Anna agreed to come early to help set up for annual meeting on October 25, 2001. Daina went over what was physically needed. Cathy will bring nametags and Dee Anna will officially greet and check in members as they arrive.

Cathy discussed what Speaker will address and agreed to introduce him. Cathy has the written materials to obtain CLE credit for attending the speech.

After the CLE, Steve Rissberger will do president’s report and Dee-Anna to do treasurer’s report. Then Monica will preside over elections of new board members.

We discussed having a slate to present to members to save time in voting.

We will also have time for members to nominate from the floor.

All board members agreed to put Bruce Black, Steve Rissberger and Maurice (Skip) Russell on the proposed slate of members to vote onto the board. Bruce graciously agreed to continue on for at least one more year and Allison Webster from DMV could take his place at a later time.

Jane and Daina volunteered to count the votes. After the election will be new business and David Marcus has already notified us that he will have two resolutions to propose to the membership.

Jane Clink announced that she planned to attend the next NAALJ training in Austin, Texas. Three other OAALJ members are also attending. Jane asked about reimbursement or a stipend for some of her expenses to attend the training from the Board. Jane advised that she had already paid and would attend with or without the stipend. Last year, the board gave a stipend to its president Charlotte Rutherford to attend but the amount and other circumstances surrounding this were not known. This item was deferred to the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned to December 6, 2001 at Holiday Inn in Wilsonville, Oregon at 6:00 pm.
