We have been working it locally but a true updated list from national would be more helpful.
H. ACTION (Doug Nation): Doug Nation requested the board to ponder the idea of offering a quarterly award similar to those given by AOC. Doug will look into the gifts and award procedures used by AOC. OPEN 02 Apr 02. SUSPENSE by next meeting on May 7, 2002.
I. NEWACTION (Harry Stritmatter): Given Board endorsement, request you draft a CONOPS for nomination and selection criteria and procedure. Recommend contact AOC for theirs as guideline. Focus will be on individual for quarterly and annual awards. Suggest title be "ITEA Tester of the Quarter/Year". SUSPENSE by next meeting on May 7, 2002.
3. Minutes of Previous Meeting. Minutes of the March 5, 2002 meeting were approved as amended.

C. Education Chair - Mike Buck. Not in attendance. Report discussed. Board reviewed the selection committee's evaluations and recommends the top 6 candidates each be awarded a $1,000.00 scholarship. ACTION (Mike Buck): Notify winners including invitation to lunch for student and family.
D. Membership Chair - Mike Evans. Local ITEA membership list was compared to National membership list and discrepancies were not in agreement. National has 27 members that we do not reflect and we have 48 members that National does not list. Mike is waiting for National to response on their procedures for notifying local chapters of new members. Will report next meeting.

Scheduled events:

- TBD: Smart Weapons Interactive Workshop, Betsy Thorn. Date change from 19-20 Mar 02. Organizers of this event want more support that originally agreed upon for donations of $20 per attendee to our scholarship fund. Board agreed the best action was to disassociate ECC ITEA from this workshop based on new support requirements of ECC ITEA and the absence of contribution to the scholarship fund.
F. Chapter Business.

Since President’s Day is Monday, 17 Feb 03, recommendation by Buff Tibbetts to offer short course on Tuesday PM, 18 Feb with symposium starting Wednesday AM, 19 Feb and wrapping up on Friday noon, 21 Feb. Recommendation by Buff to secure a block of 125 rooms with the Sandestin Hilton was accepted by the board. Doug Nation will relay approval to Buff.
