3. NCAA Convention 2008:

a. NCAA staff would like us to do a session on Hosting Championships, the bidding process and the Do’s and Do not’s of hosting. Dick reserved Saturday, 1pm – 4:30pm, we will be competing against other Association wide programming as we did last year. Last year we had poor signage, which may have attributed to an average turn out, Holly has addressed this with the NCAA planning committee, and it should improve this year. On 9/12 there is a NCAA convention planning teleconference, as Holly is a member of the committee she will be able to fill us in on more information regarding topics for programming.

b. Discussion on break-down of time period (1pm-4:30pm) for two sessions: It was decided to open our session with Roles & Expectations with a panel of presidents, vice-presidents and AD’s) from 1 to 2:30pm, take a 15min break, then do a 1 hour session on Hosting Championships (presenters will be a combination of NCAA recommendations and us). Business session will be held immediately after hosting championships session.

c. Panelists: After discussing possible panelists for both sessions it was decided to put an inquiry out on the DIII list serve in order to get a broad representation.

4. January Elections: We need to vote for a president elect and an at-large member. The president elect who is Holly Gera will take over as President, the new president elect will serve 2 years as president elect and then step into the president’s position. This position is a 6-year term (2 year’s as president elect, 2 year’s as president, and 2 year’s as past president)
5. Membership: ?? Cathie need your input I spaced here : )
6. Summer Forum 2008:

Forum will be done in combination of the NCAA Regional Rules seminar in San Antonio, Regional Rules are on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the Forum will begin Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning; the DIII commissioner’s meeting begins Wednesday afternoon. Suggestion was made to try to overlap programming with DIII commissioners, perhaps have round tables with topics that would be of interest for administrators and commissioners.

Need to draft budget for next year to be submitted to the NCAA with decision on whether to stay with current rotation of coupling with rules seminar and then NACDA every other year.

7. Financial Report submitted by Dick and approved.
8. New/old Business: None

9. Next meeting: September 27, 2007 @ 10:00 A.M. EST.

Respectfully submitted: Kim Allen
