Please note this is first official Board of Directors meeting we’ve had since April 22nd and as such is the one in which the new President would have taken office.  Since that person choose to resign and none of the successionary Nanka Vice Presidents wanted the job, it is still up for grabs.  Please let me know if you are interested. The minutes from the April regular board meeting as well the special meetings we had in September and last week will be reviewed and approved on 12/29.  We will also be firming out our revised Bylaws.  Dennis Hannon our Secretary and William Buckner our Attorney will be getting these emailed to you soon so you have adequate time to review them. In addition; all Vice Presidents, the CFO, and the two paid Coordinators are expected to make their reports at this meeting.  These should be emailed to me by a week prior. The other agenda Items are: Electing an Executive Vice President Creating Job descriptions & a Selection committee Mentoring new leaders Winter Nationals results & lessons learned JF BoD meeting reports Club registrations update Think Tank & Endowments Calendar & BoD meetings This year’s Winter Nationals is on track for Friday December 7th at Azusa Pacific with clinics on December 6th the Hughes Center in Claremont.  On line registration is flowing in and we expect a terrific event.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Let’s all extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Tadashi Hiraoka, Sensei who passed away earlier this week.  He was a long standing member of our judo community and Nanka and my very close friend. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and terrific holidays! See you soon, Gary Goltz
