IAD Report
Introduction of Wayne Arnold, IAD President. Wayne is here to discuss a possible ICRID/IAD joint convention. Also, the NAD President will be in town for the USADB game. Maybe we could have a banquet or dinner to welcome her. Discussion to be at a later time. NCI- NAD/RID Task Force for the certification test meeting will take place in Chicago in May. IAD would like for the ICRID President and IAD President to be at the meeting. Regarding the IAD/ ICRID conference, a suggestion was made to possibly set up a task force from both groups to create a proposal for the conference. The next IAD conference is set for Merrillville, IN, 2002. Maybe we could set up Thur/Fri/Sat workshops without a business meeting. Wayne initiated a discussion on possibly having dual membership for IAD/ICRID. Judith Carson suggested talking to OCRID about their OCRID/OAD conference.
Announcement

Liaison.
New Business
Judith Carson attended today's meeting from 1-3pm. One of the Board's goals this year is to have a mutual understanding of the Bylaws.  The last time the Bylaws were revised was in 1994. There are still changes to be made for the Bylaws to be without ambiguity, and also reflect the changes that have occurred in the organization since the last major revision. Judith worked with the Board to suggest changes in verbiage. These suggestions will be up for review by the Bylaws committee. The committee will also discuss a motion submitted by member Angela Myers. The goal of the
committee is to have these proposed changes, along with their rationales, sent to the general membership by mail referendum within the next four months.

The next Board meeting is set for Saturday, March 9,
2002, at ISD.

Dave Calvert made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 3:45pm. The Board seconded.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Antonette Needham, Secretary
