Budget Committee - Nothing new to report.

Education Committee - Mike Longyear reported that the Education Committee is developing a model curriculum to insure that speakers consistently cover relevant material during the initial mandatory trainings.  The next initial mandatory training is scheduled for March 29 & 30, 2007.  Board members should contact Mike or Hank to let them know of Board member availability to present, as needed, at the training.  The Board briefly discussed the concept of conducting only one training instead of two per year, but decided to consider this matter at another time.
