September 13, 2010 Executive Committee Meeting

Present at the meeting were: Samya Boxberger-Oberoi (VPPR) and Randy Groover (President & Secretary).

Officer Reports:

The President reported that 1 DCP goal was formally acknowledged by Toastmasters International, but that Ruth Wadsworth had attained her ACB, but probably had not submitted it to Toastmasters International by the time the DCP report was run for this meeting.

The VPPR suggested that the flyer that was in development for the San Mateo County Business Expo could be saved as a marketing document on our website and would be especially helpful for responding to contacts by e-mail. There was general agreement that this was a good idea.

The Secretary reported that he had caught up on all the Blogging necessary to record the minutes of the various meetings.

Agenda Items:

It was agreed that 100 fliers would be produced at a maximum for the San Mateo County Business Expo. In any case a budget of $100.00 for fliers would not be exceeded. The VPPR stated that all the details were on schedule for the club's participation at the Expo on September 22, 2010.

The President said that everything was in order for our club's participation at the Area Contest on September 27, 2010.

The concept of adding an application page for new members was initially discussed. It was agreed that this conversation should continue when the Treasurer was present since the Treasurer will have the most interaction with proposed new functionality.

The next Executive Committee meeting will be held on November 8, 2010.
