Crystal called the meeting to order. Minutes will be posted to the web site.

Treasurer's report - no change

Action and Discussion on Committee Recommendations:
Constitution - Add to Recognition Committee recommendations: an individual should not serve more than 3 years on the committee and should be an association member for at least 3 years Add this addition to the current recommendation that it is not necessary for a member to have previously received an award to serve on the Recognition Committee. This is not by-law change, just recommendation. Motion passed. Carolyn Langley will need to add this to this to the association information on the web site and note that it was updated in 2007.

Finance - Committee recommended moving $750 from overage to enrichment. An overage is also expected from Winter Board and this can go to Enrichment. If an auction is held at the Summit in 2007, finance recommends participating and finding on item of at least $100 from each district. If auction is held at the Youth/Family Summit, proceeds from auction would go in the Endowment. Crystal recommended tabling this item until Spring Board when we have more information.

Treasurer and President will talk with Richard Freeman and write a one-page summary about the Endowment and to this to the officer notebook. Motion approved.

NCAE4-HA recommended a $1000 donation to Ag. Agents Association to support sons/daughter program for the national meeting. Vote taken and motion approved.

Centennial Challenge to Districts - It was suggested to ask district associations to donate $1000 to contribute to Endowment by Winter Board 2009 to reach the goal. Joyce questioned why wait until 2009? She suggested asking for pledges prior to that time and then celebrate reaching that goal in 2009. Robbie suggested lowering the suggested amount to $500. Lesa Walton asked the amount we are receiving from monthly contributions through payroll deductions. Crystal recommended changing wording to "up to $1000" so districts won't feel like it has to be a $1000, if they can't contribute that amount. Dale expressed his disappointment that agents won't step up to the challenge. Barb suggested that we approach corporations about donations. Crystal called for a vote about asking for $1000 and it was approved based on vote.

Donation received from the Extension Foundation and the Ag. Foundation will go into the Endowment. Vote taken and approved.

Professional Development - Four changes recommended to professional development committee role. Vote taken and approved. Joyce will take care of noting changes on the web site.

Spring Board meeting - May 21 at 10:00 in Greensboro or Raleigh.

Motion to adjourn.

Respectfully Submitted,
Donna Mull
Secretary
