exhibitors
and sponsors)

* Rose Hill--ELSIG
** Tom White wrote a Publicity Strategies document--great work!
** Elizabeth Millager will be working with Rose Hill--she'll be the
registrar for the seminar to be held on March 10, 2001. Liza Bauman 
sent
out press releases on 1/23.
** Looking for someone to present the Tools section of the seminar. 
(Mark
Ace recommended Jon Lee.)
** All parts of the workbook have been updated except for the Salary 
Survey
information, which will be updated by Tom in Feb..
* Skip Martin--Contractors SIG
**The Jan. Contractors meeting had a presentation on Macromedia 
Authorware
by Phillip Kernan. There were only seven in attendance. Much was 
revealed
and many questions were asked and answered. A good meeting, all in all.
**We have consistently had small turnouts this season. This in itself 
isn't
bad. The issue is that we are not covering expenses, thus causing the
chapter to pick up the slack. Also, Diane and I will not be continuing 
in
our roles as managers next season. We are looking for replacements, 
will
announce the openings, and ask Jim Slaight to add the position(s) to 
his
ever growing list. Everyone, please keep on the lookout for potential
replacements.
* Ryan Gibson--Online SIG
The Jan. Online meeting went well at Autodesk, with about 15 attendees.
Made about $60 from door fees. Already planning on 2/21 meeting at
Tektronix. Should also make a profit on that one too.
* Patti Loverink--Feb. Dinner Meeting
The menu and facilities are taken care of, and the speaker is arranged.
Kymm is arranging the seminar with Andrea. Please make sure someone is
there to open and close the meeting. At the Jan. meeting we allowed Job
Seekers and Job Announcers to stand up and make a short speech. People
REALLY liked this, so I think we should go back to doing this, even if 
it
means starting the meeting five minutes early to allow time for it.
* Jeff Jansen--Treasurer
Checking balance= $12,190.62. Money Market balance= $5,030.39. Total=
$17,221.01.
SIG and Officer Reports continued (present):
* Robin Schuckmann--Newsletter Co-Editor
The latest issue is completed and is being "Weberized". The next issue 
will
focus on editing.
* Jeffrey Harris--Webmaster
We discussed whether to have community calendar links to ASTD, 
Winwriters,
SAO, Chifoo etc.. Jeffrey would like a student volunteer to validate 
the
links. Info about the Lonewriters and Telecommuting SIGs will be 
deleted
from the site.
* Liza Bauman--Publicity
Liza has added more newspapers and schools to the list and plans to 
update
the contact list. She will publicize the Getting Started workshop and
wonders when the drop dead date is.
* Christy Graunke--Publicity
Christy is redoing the chapter brochure and wil be helping with PR for 
the
competition.
* Jon Harvey--Hospitality
Attendance for Program meetings has been slipping a bit. We had 39 
RSVPers
for the Lance Gelein meeting and 10 walk-ins. Rachel and Christine 
acted as
greeters to welcome new people.
* Jim Slaight--Volunteer Coordinator
We still need a Mentoring Program Co-Manager; Award Competition
Recognitions Manager/ Committee members; 2001 Regional Conference 
Catering
Coordinator, 2001 Regional Conference Speakers' Assistant; Regional
Conference Hospitality Team; and Manager's SIG Manager(s).
* Rachel Houghton--Competition
