Finance Committee – Budget Issue
Robert brought to the attention of the Executive Committee that the Finance Committee discussed at their meeting
on Jan. 11 th that AC Stipends had not been budgeted for in the 2010-2011 budget in the AC Pilot Program. Their
question to the Executive Committee is, should the budget be changed or leave as is and note the expense? By
consensus, the Executive Committee recommended the Finance Committee leave the budget as is and
manage to the bottom line.

Old/New Business
Board Google Site
The committee discussed the Board Google site and how many board members were actually looking at it. They
discussed sending weekly emails with department updates in the email and a reminder to go to the google site for
past updates and see how that works for keeping the board in the loop.

Anthony asked the Executive Committee about rejoining AWB. The committee thought it was a good idea.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 4:56 p.m. by consensus.
