They will be discussed at the next meeting.

o “At Large” positions: These positions are appointed.- Michael Mondragon and Justin Ely were nominated to fill the two vacant positions. They will be under the Directors of Assigning and Instruction. Krieg and Kevin will approach two adult candidates to fill the Director at Large positions. The possible candidates are Kerry Raskow and Scott Glassmeyer.

o Back-up Assignors: There is a need to appoint/identify back-up assignors in the event that the two assignors are unable to perform their duties at a given time (vacation, etc). The current back-ups are no longer available- Ed, John, and Dale. They have other responsibilities and interest.

o Treasurer: There is also the need for a back-up treasurer in the event the treasurer also is unavailable (vacation, etc).
