Eboard Roundtable/Action Item Updates

PP – Attended a meeting with SH and the convention team regarding the contest and judging. Everything is going well. Plans to follow up on the video regarding what judges look for.

JT – Attended meetings with SH and the Tiger Meet coordinator on new SIG and Club display awards for Tiger Meet. Coordinated for a SIG Leader Social event during Nationals and a seminar on IPMS/USA SIGs. Slide preparation for the annual business meeting is coming up and board members should start putting their slides together.

DL – Regional awards have been ordered and will be getting mailed to the RC’s soon. Two new potential chapters being started. Chapter social and RC breakfast being planned.

MO – Financial picture remains as expected. Recently purchased some replacement hardware for the convention.

SH – Convention pre-registration is going well, numbers are about average compared to past conventions. Unfortunately had to cancel the Auburn Museum Tour due to not meeting minimum attendee requirements. Still have trophy packages needing sponsors. Convention journal is in design status and with the journal team.

DM – Continuing to post reviews as they come in and working on getting late reviews submitted. Has been working on the reviewer corp get-together and manufacturer’s dinner at Nationals.

JN – Offered to let the rest of the Eboard use his column in the journal if they have a topic they would like to cover as a “guest editorial.”
