Third Agenda Item: Treasurer’s Report (D. Waters)
As of July 2003, the chapter has $13,122.02 dollars in the account. The Chapter earned between $5000 and $6000 from the May conference. We had more vendors participate in 2003 than in the past. Nine vendor slots were sold. C. Arnold inquired about how many new members were obtained from the conference. A notice was sent out regarding membership renewal. A second notice will be sent out to those members who still need to renew their dues.Attending the May conference does not renew one’s dues.

C. Arnold submitted the Chapter Annual Report to both the Florida Section Chair and the A&WMA Headquarters in Pittsburgh. The Florida Section will submit an application for the Minasian Award to A&WMA Headquarters to compete for that award.

Fourth Agenda Item: Old Business (Board)
Report on 2003 Joint Technical Conference
D. Waters commented that there was a lot of positive feedback about distributing the certificates for PE, QEP, and Legal credits.

The conference registration was still a bit disorganized. There was still some confusion over who pre-payed and who had to pay at the door. D. Waters said that probably little could be done at this time to improve the process. J. Meade volunteered to lead a committee to improve next year’s registration process.

There appeared to be adequate food. The Happy Hour was a success. There were 30 or 40 attendees.
