Vicki reported her research of the by-laws regarding length of time Directors can be in office. Her handout explained her recommendations. The primary issue is the length of time Directors can hold executive office or be Directors. It was decided that Directors should not be restricted to a two-year term. Executive officers should only hold office for two years. Vicki will bring back draft of recommendations for review. This will require a change of by-laws and procedure must be followed.

Lori reported on the Nomination Committee of Officers. Elections will be held during the June meeting.
