II in Boise in December. Kootenai Electric is talking about
sponsoring a Level I in Coeur d' Alene in February.
-
Regional Meetings: There is a
meeting scheduled in Mountain Home for October 5 - it will be a
Schooldude presentation for schools. Phil encouraged everyone to do
a regional meeting as they are important to the members.
-
Web Site: The member forum is up
and running. Gary Machen sent an e-mail with suggestions which will
be forwarded to the designer and the board members. The user name
for the forum is IBOA and the password is mbr2007. The password
will change every year.
New Business:
-
Convention, 2008: It was agreed we
would do Boise every other year until we see what our membership
demographics look like - maybe do Idaho Falls next year. Phil and
Stephanie will co-chair the convention. Mike Miller, Gary Machen
and Jeff Underwood will co-chair the Idaho Falls Convention.

New Board Member: It was moved and
approved that Lee Noll be the board representative for Region 8.

Board Representation: There was discussion
on how to have the expansion of our membership represented
on the board. It was agreed to talk more about this at the
Convention.
|
D.

Jerry Horton asked about training and the
costs of sending someone to in-person training. The CD
training for Level I can help that, but Level II is not
appropriate for distance training. It was noted that the
cost of training is not excessive if you can show how much
their employers will save as a result of the training.
Our training is also very competitively priced.

before the convention.
