In progress:<br />
*Completed LOPSA 2016 income tax return: being reviewed by accounting firm prior to submission. Afterward, need to file 2015, 2014, 2013<br />
*First draft of IRS Form 1023 for 501 c(3) status reinstatement sent to accounting firm<br />
*Problem continues with multiple PayPal accounts, one of which I do not have access to (is it separate income stream or just pass-through account?) Is there a flow chart on how the PayPal payment process works, and the functions of the various accounts? For example, I do not see proceeds of the Cascadia 2017 registrations (as reported in Wild Apricot) in the PayPal account that I have access to. <br />
** George will work with PayPal on this [As of 6/27, any update since then]? If we cannot get the password changed, I suggest we cut our losses and create a new PayPal account. This will have to be integrated with Wild Apricot - who can do this?<br />

== Next Agenda item... (NAME) ==<br />
<!-- Copy the line above, changing header and adding your name so we know who is presenting the agenda item. Leave "Next Agenda item" as the last item before New Business--><br />
== New board member onboarding (Steve) ==<br />
We need to add newly elected board members to the "newboard" mailing list, begin setting them up with access to the wiki and other resources, etc.<br />
<br />
== Face to Face Location (George) ==<br />
<br />
Looking at our composition after the election we are back to a much closer split - 4 East Coast, 5 West Coast.<br />
<br />
Option 1. Just do Seattle again (Although I think we have issues finding cost effective hotels and meeting spaces if I remember correctly)<br />
<br />
Option 2. East Coast, maybe somewhere more southern for better costs?<br />
<br />
Option 3. Everyone into the middle of the country?<br />
<br />
== $100 Gift certs for Leadership team members (George) ==<br />
<br />
Ski, proposed that we get $100 gift certs for the leadership time. I agree. Needs a vote, and where do we want to get them to or just Amex gift cards?<br />
<br />
* Motion: George<br />
