In attendance: Gregg, Coni, Lynette, Rhonda, John

Gregg called the meeting to order.

Lynette moved that we approve the minutes of the previous meeting. John 2 nd and all in favor.

We reviewed the handouts for the upcoming dinner meeting. We will also report on the All Board Meeting (Unite to Fight) that EALA participates in and ask members what topics they would like to see covered at future meetings.

Regarding the dinner invitations, Rhonda moved that we take off the "Non-members $25 plus cost of dinner" line. John 2 nd and all in favor.

The project committee recommended that we not change "Associate Member" to "Networking Member" at this time. Ruth will need to revise the membership forms.

$2500 buy down to Colorado Activities Center: Rhonda will try to contact Mike and resolve the buy down by 10/23/06. If it is not resolved by then, EALA will issue CAC a check.

It was mentioned again that when the Treasurer leaves town for more than just a few days, the checkbook needs to be left with another board member.

Lodging Survey through Survey Monkey: It was decided that we would poll the membership at the October 17, 2006 dinner meeting to see how many members would be interested in participating before we go to too much effort creating the survey.

Gregg to see if Ilene can be a speaker at our November meeting and Steve Gillette (Larimer County Waste) at a future meeting.

Coni to see if a representative from NFIB can be our January speaker and a Visa or MC rep to be a future speaker.

Unite to Fight Meeting: November 9, 2006 EALA to host.

Rhonda to invite JJ to speak at this meeting (he was appointed by the Governor to Northern Colorado Economic Development Government Task Force). John moves that Rhonda invite him, Coni 2nds and all in favor.

After discussing the voting rights of Associate Members per our bylaws, John moved that we discuss changing the bylaws at our next board meeting to allow Associate Members to vote. Rhonda 2 nd and all in favor.

Next board meeting: November 7, 2006, The Egg & I, 9am.

Meeting adjourned.
