== Review Board Committees ==

Some of the current Board committees (list at [[Committees]]) may not be what's needed, and it's possible that some that would be useful have not been formed.

''ACTION ITEM: All to review board committees with respect to charters and usefulness''

''[Harris joins at 20:38 ET]''

== Recognize New Founding Members ==

It's LOPSA's first year of existence, we need to recognize those people who have materially contributed to making it possible.
Potential new founding members will be reviewed by a committee of Barr, Hughes, and Parter, and recommendations made at the 11/20 meeting.

'''MOTION: by Harris seconded by Hughes, that Geoff Halprin be named a LOPSA Founding Member.''' passes.

''ACTION ITEM: Harris to send Founding Member email to Halprin.''

== Job Board Proposal ==

After some discussion, the recommendation is to work with JobTarget to productize a managed job board as member benefit and revenue source. Some followup needs to be done to ensure that our member posting/searching requirements can be met before approval is officially granted. The Board thanks Chuck McIntyre for his work on the evaluation.

''ACTION ITEM: Albrecht to get with his contact at JobTarget and get a specific proposal including the features LOPSA requires.''

== Advertising in Memo to Members ==

Recommendation of the focus group was that LOPSA should persue relevent advertising in the MtM with the goal of generating additional non-due, non-sponsor revenue. Ads should be limited to 10-12 lines, with no more than one per page. Ads should be set off from the main body by a recognizable border other than just a line.

'''MOTION: Potter, seconded by Hume, that LOPSA should persue relevent advertising in the MtM with the goal of generating additional non-due, non-sponsor revenue. Ads should be limited to 10-12 lines, with no more than one per page. Ads should be set off from the main body by a recognizable border other than just a line.''' Passes (7 in favor, 1 (Wilson) opposed, 1 not present)

== LISA planning ==

The LISA planning committee has a booth and a suite. Stickers to give away, shirts from inventory to sell onsite, plans for a LOPSA birthday cake, and drawings are highlights.

== New Business ==

=== Code of Ethics status ===

Questions arose over whether the Code of Ethics review committee had ever produced a report. Potter will investigate.

''ACTION ITEM: Potter to search for the Code of Ethics review document/report''

== Adjournment ==

'''MOTION to adjourn by Hume, seconded by Wilson''' passes. Adjourned at 21:37 ET
