Issues Needing Resolution: Larry Krieg passed out a listing of issues that he felt should be addressed and resolved in the coming months. He asked that members of the Executive Committee review them and rank them as to importance. He wants a feeling as to what people are most concerned about.

Langdon suggested forming a committee to examine each category of issues and suggest resolution.

Tischbein thought the list was excellent and suggested it be handed out to new members as a way of introducing them to the work of the organization.

Newell noted that in her mind outreach and membership issues are very much connected.

Krieg asked members of the Executive Committee to give him their rankings at the end of the meeting or transmit by e-mail in the very near future.

Adjournment: The meeting of the Executive Committee adjourned at 10:14 a.m.
