Meeting called to order at 12:10 p.m.

ATTENDEES:  Marla Haley, Robin Malik-Swisher, Peter Matthias, Teri McCaleb, Denice McMahon, Marsha Smith, & Sharlene Smith

Marsha asked for volunteers to help drop off Toys for Tots donations after the December 20^th Chapter meeting.  Everyone was willing to help out!

Peter asked about posting Financial Statements on the web site in the Members only Section.  Peter will work with Joel to set up.

Peter also mentioned that he hasn’t received $600 from two vendors for the Fall Conference.  He will check with Ann Johnson on the collection status.  Also, if anyone has outstanding receipts from the conference, please send to Peter for reimbursement.

Teri will contact Joel and ask about adding a line to December’s web site Registration regarding e-mail registration reminders.  Hopefully, this will cut down on the registrations that are being mailed monthly.

Next months topic is Personal Development.  Sharlene will notify us when she has found a speaker.

Sharlene is also working on a write-up for the March 2002 meeting that will feature Frank Abagnale.  Frank is one of the world’s most respected authorities on the subjects of forgery, embezzlement and secure documents.  For over 25 years, he has lectured to and consulted with hundreds of financial institutions, corporations and government agencies around the world.  Marla will check with Medtronic regarding use of their facility for the meeting.  We are planning on 200 to 300 people attending, including employees from the Risk Management/Treasury areas.

All board members were asked to review how much they plan on spending in 2002 for Chapter meetings and to bring that information to the December meeting.  Board members should also print out their position job descriptions from the web site and bring to the next month’s meeting for review.

Marla mentioned that we need to start soliciting volunteers at the February 2002 meeting for the October 2002 Conference.  There will be two brainstorming topic sessions one for APA and one for IHRIM.  After these first sessions, the remaining planning meetings will have both groups together.

Robin is working on a 2001 Chapter Highlights report to issue to members in December.

The Board will have an outing in February to the Chanhassen.  Denice or Teri will be contacting members about dates.
