OLD BUSINESS

Joe B. discussed the potential for a permanent IG office, presented progress report in written submission. Pros & cons were discussed, as stated in the report.

IG members voted unanimously that there was enough interest in continuing to pursue this idea. There will be a proposal sent out to the fellowship via email and/or Survey Monkey for a short survey on whether the fellowship is interested in supporting the move. Janet L volunteered to assist in formulating questions to ask.

***Mary Ann S. note: just realized I took part in this vote, though I was technically a visitor to IG. IDK if anyone actually counted the vote; if so, reduce by one.****

NEW BUSINESS

Sharon H. presented the topic of adding a newcomers tab to our local website, siting Region V website as an example. Group agreed to do this so Jeannine and Maria volunteered to assist Sharon with development
