Old Business:

New Business:
Paul Brown:
Monthly Meeting Dinner Expenses - Each year at conference the Valley Chapter revisits the idea of paying for member meals at the monthly meetings. The reason behind this is to attract more members to the meetings. As is evidenced by the Treasurers report, this item has not affected the Valley Chapter negatively.

• Motion - David Griffin to continue paying for member meals at monthly chapter meetings.
  Second - Jim Ballard
  No Discussion
  Motion Carries

State PORAC Treasurer Elections:
Being that Region II was unable to establish a regional position between Shawn DuFossi and Russ Reinhart for PORAC Treasurer, the Chapter conducted discussion in the matter:

• Motion: Paul Brown to support Shawn DuFossi for PORAC Treasurer
  Second: Dan Schnepple
  Discussion - Steve Walker said he believed it was unappropriate for members of the Valley Chapter E-Board to make the nominations
  Motion Recinded.

• Motion: James Morgan to support Shawn DuFossi for PORAC Treasurer
  Second: Jerry Camous
  Discussion - Andy Schlenker said he liked both Reinhart and DuFossi equally. He said that both were qualified for the position and the reason why his association would be supporting Reinhart was because they have worked with Reinhart and know more about him and his work ethics.
  Motion Fails due to lack of unanimous support. Vote will be handed to indiviual associations during General Session.
