Old Business

• Last month, Les introduced the need for enhanced membership outreach efforts at the board level.   The idea of having a standing RTC Membership Outreach Committee was discussed.   He suggested that such a committee: hold regular meetings, assign themselves specific tasks, seek help from the RTC board as appropriate, and measure the success of their efforts against membership metrics.   This would possibly become a standing RTC committee.
• The board discussed the formation of such a committee at length.
• Carol Pillsbury will meet (before next month's board meeting) with Gery Yearout, Pauline Hanley, Marcia Perry, (and perhaps a few other volunteers) to further explore this idea and report back with their conclusions.
  
  

New Business
