New Business
Keith Flury gave a report of the topics and presentations given at the first meeting of the Southeastern District Meeting, attended by Keith Flury and Sandra Harvey. Society has voted to increase membership dues from $120 to $200/year for professional membership.  $150 for society dues, and $50 for chapter dues. For the chapter, this is an increase of $30 per member per year. The cost per member in the corporate membership structure is the same as a professional membership, but discounts are offered for organizations with more than 24 members. 
Further discussion regarding the processing of chapter expenses was held. Dennis Leahy requested that a note be added to the minutes of the business meeting to indicate the decision to pay travel expenses for our last guest speaker was made by an ad-hoc committee consisting of four of the eight board members.
Programs
Stephanie Ayres gave a report on chapter programs. As of this Board meeting, two PDMs have been held year to date, with another PDM to be held immediately following the Board meeting.
The next PDM will be held in May, with guest speaker Jerry Kilty hosting the MIT Beer Game.
A recommendation to use the $75 gift certificate from the APICS Bookstore as a door prize during our PDM was made. The board decided to use the gift certificate to purchase door prizes from the APICS Bookstore, instead. 
CEGA Financial Status
Janet Boyd, Treasurer, reported the CEGA income, expenses and balance as of the meeting night. The chapter is solvent and in good standing.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00.
