Committee Reports

Due to an workshop to be held immediately after the board Of Directors meeting the only item that was discussed was the scholarship program. Unfortunately the State has not matched any scholarship money and is unlikely to do so in the immediate future. The Board did approve $1500 to go towards one Scholarship for this year. This board is very concerned about the future of the scholarship program without matching state funds. It was our intent when we started this fund that once an scholarship was funded it would be renewable each year with the matching funds from the state.

The meeting was adjourned and the workshop was convened.

The education portion of the meeting was on business and workers compensation. There was 105 people who attended the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted

Salvatore Ted Licitra
Secretary/Treasurer
