Updates
We regret to report that Katy, our volunteer project manager has recently obtained full time employment.  We wish her well in all future endeavors.  We will contact several online sources and colleges to see if we can recruit another graduate student volunteer to work with us in the Fall/winter.  Katie will write up a job description for us.

Board Issues
A working group including the two board chairs, the president and the president-elect will meet in Washington D.C. on July 14   to discuss the future direction of the Society.  The Executive Committee voted to allocate $1,000 for travel and hotel expenses for this meeting.

Dave and Danny met with current Board members to determine whether they wish to remain on the board or resign.  Alan Greene and Indu Subaiya, will remain on the Board.  Deb Linton, Marcus Thygeson, and David Lansky are departing the Board. Their vacancies will be filled with other SPM members.  They will join other former Board members on our Board of Advisors.

Danny and Dave also created have a document that outlines the expectations for Board members, as follows:
1. Need to be involved in the Society – lead an active initiative or committee
2. Need to connect us to their organization  and work actively to increase the society’s presence
3. Need to be public with their affiliation with the society.
4. Need to attend the board meetings
