a. We need to appoint officers (vice chairperson and secretary) and board members to the executive committee. Officers and chairs of committees are automatically seated members of the Executive committee, but any board member can be appointed to the committee. So in March, we will need to vote as a board on officers and or appointments.

b. Executive Committee would need to vote to approve minutes from the last eight meetings.

c. Legislation is before the general assembly, to lower the minimum number of CAA board members from 15 to 9. The board would still need to be tri-partied. 

d. The bylaws say that we only need to have a 1/3 of the board present to establish a Quorum, so last two board meetings we had a quorum.
