ALHM Board of Directors Meeting is again in Session Monday morning, 9:00 am est, Nov 11 Status Minutes Approved Issue of adding links to national page is defeated Meeting Format – David please report on that this morning. Next agenda item: We are forming a committee that will act as a Marketing ALHN and Volunteer Recruitment. Members: Cyndy Cox, Membership coordinator David Johnson, Parliamentarian Barbara Hutchinson, Volunteer Coordinator Rebekah Headings, Board Secretary & creator of Facebook page Dan Matney, Voting Member, state coordinator for Oregon and Montana Colleen Pustola, Publicity Coordinator. The function of this committee will be an ongoing one. It will be responsible for creating ways and means to improve ALHN’s use and public appearance. Provide volunteers with ways and means of improving their web sites as needed. Recruiting new volunteers for vacant state / county / topics. Improving usage of ALHN’s face book pages or any other conceivable means of improvements. First order of business concerning this is: WHICH list do you wish to meet on? I would suggest the alhn-general list since everyone can participate on that list OR we can subscribe the members to the board list, temporarily....which is allowed. Or we can create a separate list for this purpose. Secondly- It wouldn’t hurt to have at least one more volunteer so you have a total of 7 and a quorum of 4 Third- I had appointed Rebekah chair of this committee but since she is only available for communications in the late afternoons I think we should appoint a co-chair...David Johnson, to conduct meetings. Discussion is now open for the ways and means of this committee. Membership volunteers and comments are most welcome!! Joyce Gaston Reece,President American Local History Network www.alhn.org

I sent this response once to the board, but neglected to "reply-all"; so I'm resending this for the general list. I am seeing notices that people are unsubscribing from the lists quite a lot lately, especially from the board list, and I suspect it is due to the large number of emails flooding their inboxes. While it would be very good to have the wholen membership participating, I think it would be best to create a new list, and also not to flood the board list with this. If this was added to the board list it would make sorting out meetings from this committee difficult. Any person who wished to follow this and comment could subscribe to the new list.
