    • After discussion, vote was 5 in favor, 0 agains. Motion passes.

    B. Electing a new director to fill the position opening 1/15
    • Jason opened the discussion by suggesting we have a member election for this position, for two reasons: 1) it allows member input, makes them feel involved and 2) it creates excitement and interest during a period in which those are sorely lacking. After some discussion, it was decided that the complexity of such an election and various security issues would make it unfeasable at this time.
    • A disucssion of possible candidates took place and it was decided to talk to each of them before any motion to elect happens.

4. Adjournment

    • Jason moved that the meeting be closed
    • Mary Lou 2nd
