New Business:
Tish wanted to advise that they want to make some changes Internationally that we should be concerned about.  Recommendations have been made by International to get rid of State Council Directors and have Local committees  report to Regional committees who will then report to Nationals.  They want to stop all council directors funding.  Tish also asks that you take a look at naiw.org as they are proposing a plan to acquire a $500,000 loan to refurnish their headquarters and make some other unnecessary changes.
