The meeting began with approval of the minutes from the Fall Professional Development Annual Meeting in Springfield, IL, September 2005.
Dave Avant gave the ANOMAC 10-Year Reunion subcommittee report. He announced that the meeting was scheduled to be in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico this year and there were a couple of tentative dates: August 24-26 or August 31-September 2. This subcommittee has been charged with working with the ANOMAC President, Jorge Acevedo, to coordinate the participation of former ASLCS Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, and Chairs and Co-Chairs of the International Communication & Development Committee. The Clerks and Secretaries of Mexico are looking forward to having several who have traveled to ANOMAC conferences in the past share the special occasion of their 10th anniversary as an organization this year. There was discussion among committee members of presenting a memento to ANOMAC in celebration of this special mile stone.
Jeff Finch gave the NCSL/ASLCS International Program subcommittee report. Jeff has discussed with Kathy Wiggins and Jeremy Meadows the possibility of a kiosk presentation at the beginning of the NCSL Annual Meeting in Nashville, similar to what was done in past years. He said this would coincide with the International delegate's registration on Sunday, August 13 in the evening or Monday, August 14. The tentative theme is citizen involvement with the legislative process.
Diane Bell, Co-Chair of the committee, displayed a copy of this year's International Directory that has been printed and would be mailed out in the coming two weeks.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Diane Bell, Chair
