Old Business:
Cheryl gave a report on the retirement reception for Larry Tidemann and the farewell reception for Fred Cholick.
Desire was to have the committees more active in the future. The upcoming leadership team will be scheduling a meeting with the new director in order to open lines of communications. Concern was raised about the control of the community leader meetings. In the past SDCEA coordinated these meetings and this has shifted to administration. Discussion needs to be held with the director on how this can be shifted back to the members and clarification of roles for these meetings. This item was handed to the new officer team for follow-up.
Having no further business, meeting adjourned.
Minutes respectfully submitted by L. J. Osborne, Secretary, SDCEA.
