Attendance at regional meetings is up this year.

Focus Groups: on best practices in advising try to develop a best practices document.
Membership survey in Advisor please read it – The Advisor is still strong.
New Website is up at last – opportunity to do more data collection and reports.

Report on 2012: from Cindy Standfield. There is still time for input on the meeting – new advisor workshop will be split 4 year and community colleges. Professional updates as usual. Food and fellowship. Silent Auction. Issues will include MR5, Holistic review, and partnering with Community Colleges.
Minutes: Secretary Keith Garbutt presented the minutes of the June 18 2010, Board Meeting in Atlanta, GA. They were approved with minor corrections as distributed.
Treasurer’s Report: Gerald Seebach presented the financial report, which was approved as distributed. The current balance is $1,201.38 in the checking account, $32,679.13 in the savings account and $17,712.01 in a CD for a total balance of $51,592.52. The balance on 6/18/2010 was $50,991.61.
The CD has been moved back to savings so it will be easier to move to next Treasurer. As we are not a non-profit in Tennessee the meeting could cost 9% more than expected. Registration money has not yet been received. Outstanding reimbursements to officers and meeting expenses will reduce this total.
Report of the Historian and Webmaster – Amy Crews
New web is still waiting on National that still has not gone up. Has been much more complex than expected – still may be delayed as issues with the vendor. Please send any ideas concerning the web page to Amy.
