Account is balanced through June. Approved New/old business: Website: Is up to date. No newsletters were sent out as SCTE National has pointed out that we need to go back to the traditional “paper like newsletter template” vs. the “headline approach” we have been using. To increase traffic Eric is suggesting that we expand our photo gallery along with posting any vendor training handouts that we have used for training. Training: Bob Angelastro will be contacting Dave Underwood to try and secure MoCa training in August.
1. News Letter: See “Website” above.
2. Local Vendors Day: Post Vendor Day we have determined that overall the show went well but we need to address the lunch costs but maintain the free admission as the training is what is important. We must increase attendance in future events especially the “Fulfillment Groups” within the various companies. Not only does it help in training but also it gives vendors the much-needed face-to-face contact with the people who actually use their equipment.
3. Matrix: Bob Angelastro and Mike Morris has contacted National and confirmed that we have complied relative to their requests.

One will go to Steve Bradley and the other full pass will go to the selected SCTE certified member. Chris Middleton will get floor passes to the other attendees.
5. Asset List: All board members are to provide to Don Dyer via email the following:
Description; SN and Value of any equipment that you may have in your possession in order to compile a database of Sierra Chapter’s property.
