Polly Emerson made a motion to approve the minutes from the spring meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas. Inga Emerson seconded the motion and the minutes were approved.
The survey response report showed 48 chambers had not responded to the survey to date. The committee members were given the opportunity to select several of the non-responsive chambers to contact. Brenda Erickson volunteered to contact the chambers that were more difficult to reach, such as the territories. She will also be sending out a "first reminder" survey notice next week to all of the non-responsive chambers to allow them time to send in their surveys before being contacted individually by the committee members. In September, an updated response report will be sent out to all committee members. At that time, chambers that have not yet responded will be contacted again. The goal set for survey response is 100%.
Brenda Erickson is currently working to have PDF versions of all survey documents (past and present) available online to give a more historic view of when and how surveys were done over the years.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Polly Emerson (TX), Vice-Chair
