Alex called the meeting to order and thanked our sponsors.

Then Lauryn Wingate, Salt Lake City based Fund Raiser, gave a summary of her resume.
She is interested in using the GAZeL Golf Tournament in combination with OLPC as a fund
raiser for GAZeL and laptops for use in US. Lengthy discussion ensued. Steve asked what would
happen if we were unable to meet Loren’s $7500 fee and she did not believe that would be a
problem which did not really answer the question. Bobbie moved to accept Loren’s proposal.
Richard seconded and we voted. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Items:
CEO Breakfast-- Bobbie gave update on CEO Breakfast. We have had a good response and so far 36 people have signed up.

Summit Conference Update – Steve gave update on Summit. We are doing well but we are behind on getting sponsors. Steve went through the probable speakers and the itinerary. Alex has to decide who is giving the overview on GAZeL and what content will be used. We have 3
people on the luncheon panel to discuss WEB 2.0. There will be 5 breakout groups. Steve also had meeting with ACIT facilitators and they will be facilitators for us also. Steve requested that the Board do all they can to contact possible sponsors and presenters.

Membership Dues Update – Michelle Michelle went over the discussion of a meeting with Alex, Bobbie, Sheri and Michelle. The points were abasic discussion of what members would be getting for their membership money. Steve mentioned that he has some material listing the results
of earlier discussions on this subject that could serve as a basis. Bobbie mentioned there would be a second audio meeting this Sunday at 10am.

Portal Development Update and Marketing Activity - Kelley and Maggie
CRM is being updated and we are actually using the site. Job postings and RFPs can also be displayed. Maggie wanted to be able to post some of the list of people attending.

Marketing – Kelley He thought that adding Loren was a good step. We need to add a generic brochure. Alex asked about GAZeL business cards and Kelley
will work on that with InterMedia.

Research Committee Maggie said they have discussed having a survey and it was suggested that it be taken at the CEO Breakfast using the OLPC.
