    1. Newsletter status discussion. Mr. Dayton discussed continued delays in getting the summer newsletter to members and the issue would be as much as three months late in reaching members. The board discussed several problems caused by the late delivery and how to address them including the issues of time sensitive ads and RUSA Board election forms. The board discussed whether the current set-up of a committee structure was working. The board also discussed mailing the September issue with the PBP Yearbook. The general consensus was that this was an acceptable plan.
    2. American Explorer discussion: Mr. Thomas noted the board needed to "close the loop" on discussion about this award by deciding whether to count Populaire events. Mr. Thomas moved to have those events count toward the award. The motion was approved by unanimous vote.
