I understand the deadlines you have set, but I would like to suggest that for those of us who actually download and read the reports it would courteous for everyone to send them at least a week before the meeting so that one has time to organize them and read them and perhaps contemplate their implications.
You are being too generous in your time lines for everyone to actually think about what the board has to do.
Suppose we had a question we would like have addressed that would require some research, presently it would go unanswered.

Subject: [AISdiscuss] Fall Board Meeting Reports
Well its that time of year again and here is the first of my reminders.
If you are responsible for presenting a report at the upcoming Fall
board meeting please pay attention to the following:
1. *I need to have all of the reports no later than Friday,
October 30*, since Gerry and I are driving and will be
leaving here on Nov. 3*. *Having the reports by Oct. 30 will give me
the time I need to make any title changes that may be
needed and then send the report off to John for uploading to
the web site.
2. If you have a specific topic you want to discuss please be
sure to let me know before *October
25, *so I can add it to the agenda. I will be sending the
agenda to the president on Oct. 26 for
his review and input.
3. Please be sure and send your reports to me in PDF format if
possible. Also please remember
that following _a*re not to be used*._ spaces, commas,
colons, parentheses, or any other special
characters in the file name. Examples are:
Convention Update#2
Meetings (Fall 2009)
4. You may use any alphabetic or numeric character and the
"underscore" (_) or "Dash" (-)
characters in the file name. Examples are:
Convention-Update
Fall-meetings
5. All title identifiers should be followed by the term
Fall2009, such as:
InsuranceReportFall2009 or
Insurance_Report_Fall_2009
6. If you have to send a revised report please make sure you
include the term "Rev" (without
the quotes) followed by a number. Example:
InsuranceReport-Fall2009Rev1
Remember, if you do not have your report to me by *Oct. 30* it will be
your responsibility to it with you to the meeting along with enough
copies for the other attendees. That means you will have to bring
between 25-30 copies.
I will be sending out other reminders as the month progresses. As
always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Michelle Snyder
