D’Adamo reported that Mike Zimmerman is not interested in working on updating the Union List and the Board needs to determine if there is enough interest in looking into other methods for keeping it up to date.  Results of the APLIC-I Membership Survey are just coming in that will help determine it usage.

Willson is just now getting results in.  We will encourage members at the Conference who have not returned it yet to fill one out before they leave.

D’Adamo brought a sample of the brochure layout for the board to look at for comments. There was too much black in one area, but overall the Board was pleased with it.
