Busy work and induce more attendance/interaction for ~$200. Terry warns that meetings should not become a financial drain to the district. When possible costs will be funded by an entertainment donation of local member business presenters.

Norcal Tech 2004 Conference

Motion to keep date for Norcal Tech. Conference - May 12 & 13, 2004

Refer to Terry’s letter outline Circumstances around the request by ISA National Committee for Norcal to postpone conference because of newly scheduled conference in LA area.

Discussed many times during evening Noted that classroom space at the California Maritime Academy has already been reserved.

Finally unanimously decided to continue with originally scheduled date and time believing scheduled conference. It is in the best service of Norcal members. Three exhibitors are already signed on. Impact to a southern California conference is minimal to non-existent (Northern California members would travel south to conference). Synergy could be leveraged because conferences are not on the same day, but close (dual exhibits and presentations)

Resolved that Terry to draft and E-mail one page letter offering to coordinate and leverage events. Letter to be passed to board for review and approval
