  • No Quorum met. Cindy to send out meeting minutes and approve thru Survey Monkey.
  • Mike Varnell has expressed an interest to return to TAGS. Greg Douglas has resigned. Mike has agreed to serve as V.P. Matt appoints him as so, and next quorum vote on it.
  • Matt proposes 6 board meetings are a lot/q 2 months. A meeting quarterly may suffice, (bylaws require only 1/yr).
  • 3 or 4 upcoming board positions, Kim Olmedo to slate new officers, 14 member board with 12 currently, discussion of what positions are and sending out bylaw open board member descriptions.
  • Matt and Cindy met with Brianna Stovall with Griswald Homecare and discussed boosting attendance with Mixer or SF. A lot of time and energy go into SF. Discussion of whether there are other potential ways to still promote our goals – advocacy, networking and education. Utilize our TAGS branding. Utilize other agencies to provide CEU's. Need for updating Faith Based contacts as well.

Conclusion
Matt will come up with a plan for November board meeting to propose for 2014.

Discussion
From Bobbi Arthur, Supervisor of the Haltom City Senior Center.
The Texas Association of Aging Programs, (TAAP) would like to schedule a meeting with TAGS and DAGS with regard to partnering with us to host a Senior Center Summit we are planning in Grapevine for January. Last week we hosted the first Senior Center Summit in Corpus Christi and it was very well received so we would like to do the same for the DFW area senior centers.
I will look forward to hearing back from you if this would consider helping with.
conclusion
Matt will confer with DAGS director, Lori, and respond.
