Annual Report Review: ICRC couldn’t provide us with additional details related to the data. Wayne was not surprised by the answer but it’s good for us to have it clarified so we can answer that question if asked. Wayne also indicated that at the time of our joint council meeting to discuss the report we should pull out a few items from the activity highlights area that were impactful for the community to note at the meeting. Wayne said we could continue to look at our outreach efforts to various community organizations especially with their programming. No other items needed to be changed. Moved by Liming, seconded by Wayne to approve the report Vote on motion: 3-0. Motion Approved. It was discussed to ask Brian Phillips to send the report to council and if council wished to have a joint meeting to discuss the report that we recommended that meeting be held after the AHRC has been able to meet with new members at least one time to welcome them and prepare them for what to expect. It was also decided to add this topic to the next agenda for discussion on what activities we may want to highlight. Symposium Planning: Joel indicated that the planning group will begin meeting soon to plan the next symposium in October and provided what current thoughts were on a keynote speaker.
