Board  Member  Reports  

wPresident’s  Report:  No  significant  developments.   Still  waiting  on  final  figures  for  Georgia  State  Conference.   Some  outstanding  balances  for  vendors.   More  information  to  come  from  Conference  organizers.  

wPresident‐Elect’s  Report:  Nothing  significant  to  report  at  this  time.  

wTreasurer’s  Report:  Current  IALLT  assets  stand  at  approximately  54k.   Additional  accounting  with  online  payment  processing  needed  in  order  to  determine  final  figures.  

wPrograms’  Director:  Nothing  significant  to  report  at  this  time.   Preparing  for  ATCFL  Conference  participation.   More  details  soon.  

Old  Business  

NEALLT/NERALLT  Joint  Conference  is  seeking  funds  for  keynote  speaker.   This  request  is  pending.   Board approval  to  come  once  all  information  has  been  submitted.

Communicated per Mike: Barbara  has noted  difficulty  for  some  IALLT  presidents  receiving  funds  from  home institutions  and  suggested a mechanism  by  which  the IALLT  President  would  be  able  to  request  funds  for travel  to  IALLT‐related national and  regional  conferences.   Current  ad  hoc  attempt  to  help  with  funds  is discouraging  some  IALLT members from  running  for  board  positions.

Lance offered to draft a proposal for such a mechanism.

Lance signed off, 2:35pm

Meeting adjourned, 2:45pm
