  2. Approval Of Minutes–Michelle Franzetti motioned and Shawn Pickens seconded the approval of the minutes from the August Board Meeting. The motion carried.
  3. Finance Report – Terri Wilkerson presented the Finance Report. We have $81,902.61 on hand. The CPSI course payment to NRPS is yet to come out and the Conference income has been collected by Hopkinsville for the most part. So the balance does not reflect the bulk of the Conference income.
