Opening Announcements – Randy Livingston

APAC is in upheaval. Lorelei has offered to attend APAC meetings and act as liaison. Jointly working on HR issues and performance appraisals.

Employee Recognition Committee took a $6000 cut to their budget. As APAC may not be offering to help fund the event this year we might approach administration with our concerns

Committees need to submit their budgets to Jean Mason for the September meeting.

Communications will deal with the survey. Randy will contact Maria about getting together a group to decide on what we want to discover. Communications will also be dealing with newsletter changes and issues.
