The Chairman's Report was presented by Bill Schulenburg.
The Webster student summit (CRASS) is this month, March 27-29, 2020.
The Vice-Chair Report was presented by Paul Hennerich.
The Vice-Chair suggested potentially changing the meeting format with a change for informal networking and socializing at every meeting with continued emphasis on attracting a broader range of attendees and focus on making the meetings a "can't miss" event. The Vice-Chair suggested special topics or events on even months.
The Treasurer Report was presented by Bill Schulenburg.
There is currently ~$196 in the treasury. The Chapter was unable to secure money in the budget to get a sponsored speaker for the Student Summit; however, the Chapter did secure a Distinguished Speakers Grant from International AES for $500 to pay for the flight for a speaker. The Chapter will cover the speaker's hotel accommodations. The AES 2020 form was unavailable online, but the Treasurer will continue to try to submit the budget proposal to International AES.
