The meeting was called to order by President Robin Hilp at 9:30 p.m.

It was moved to amend the minutes of the previous board meeting, dated September 29, 2002, to clarify the dues allocation statement and to remove personal names to protect individual privacy.

Treasurer Cher Paul handed out a Treasurer's Report. The approximate current Chapter balance is $4,684.

A Chapter Allocation Report to national ASI is due on July 1, 2003. Chapter membership as of mid-June is 97. The chapter allotment will be $5 per member, based on chapter membership as of December 2002.

Carolyn reported on the results of the chapter Meeting Location Survey. The board moved to forward a copy of these results to national ASI along with a letter from Carolyn. Julie Kawabata will send the letter on behalf of the chapter board. The letter will request that--in order to reduce the burden on a chapter--the national ASI board change its rules to allow the local chapter, in a year when the national conference is in the same region, to hold only one chapter meeting that year instead of two.

The board discussed the feasibility of having a chapter Webcast meeting to replace the cancelled Richland meeting. It was agreed that the chapter is not in a position to organize a Webcast at this time.

Regarding the location of the chapter's Fall 2003 meeting: Portland has been determined to be out of consideration because the volunteer base is too small. Seattle will be explored as a possible location.

The board decided to remove the peer review activity from future chapter meetings, since it seems to function well locally and on its own. Future chapter meeting focus will be on one meeting a year with chapter-wide appeal and one or two more locally-focused chapter meetings. One optional dinner will be included in meeting planning, and indexer inns will continue to be relied upon.

New Business: There was no new business.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Julie Kawabata, Secretary
