Treasurer's Report
Jim Mumm, incoming treasurer, presented the treasurer's report in the absence of Kathy Layer. He provided copies of the latest treasurer's report and announced that membership renewal may be made through the PayPal account or by check. ILUG will begin accepting membership renewals any time. He noted the necessity of keeping the checking account balance above $3,000 to avoid a monthly service charge.
Election Results
The results of the latest election for Vice-Chair/Chair-elect and Treasurer were announced: Julie Kimbrough, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will be the incoming Vice-Chair/Chair-elect and James Mumm, of Marquette University Eckstein Law Library, will be the new treasurer.
Passing the Gavel
The Chair passed the gavel to David Burch, Chair-Elect. A round-table discussion began on the topic of which institutions had upgraded to Sierra and which had merged with other systems. Upon completion of regular business items, a discussion ensued regarding how best to increase membership and interest in the ILUG. Scott Matheson and Jim Mumm agreed to an ad hoc committee on membership to identify prospective and delinquent members and try to encourage their participation.
David Burch, Chair, adjourned the meeting.
Respectfully submitted by,
James Mumm
