NASFAA Regional Guest as Presenter – A regional guest will be joining us at our “super meeting.” Wendy will find out who that person is and invite her to participate on Wednesday. This will allow us to have additional faculty and also emphasize our relationship with NASFAA.
Schedule for Management and Leadership Institute as of June 11, 2010 – We have added some notes to our schedule. Overall the schedule itself looks very doable. See schedule for more information.
Information from Past MLI Chairs – Kay & Catherine are sharing the information they have from their time as chairs of MLI. Wendy will sift through the information and share with the committee any items that seem of interest to the committee as a whole.

Charge for the MLI – Includes room costs & some meals – Registration should be clear. WASFAA EC members recommend no commuter rate. Committee members costs to participate will be covered through the payments from participants.
Advertising Schedule – Once a month until December – then once a week
Registration - Registration should be up by late October at the latest. Theearly registration deadline will be Friday, January 7, 2010. We must be clear on the logistics for the stay - travel arrangements from the airport to hotel so arrival time at the airport and hotel can be planned accordingly, meals that are covered and those that are not, free time, optional dessert reception.
End of Meeting Time for Committee Members – Wendy will confirm with the committee when we will end or working time together – depends on travel possibilities. If they are not too difficult, we will probably have lunch together and debrief until 2 or 2:30. We can also talk about arrival time at our next meeting so that committee members can begin to make plans.
