• Gail has to determine a process for accessing the Memorial, Lecture, and Diversity Funds. She suggested that the Foundations Committee discuss this and submit a plan to the Board.
• Gail has proposed a dues increase. This was approved last year at a board meeting but did not go out as a by-laws change so it has not happened. Membership needs a 30-day notification before the change can be approved. Therefore, notice will be sent to members next fall and this will take effect in 2002.
• Bill Forbus moved approval of the 1999 budget. Steve Estes seconded. Motion passed.
• Gail proposed moving the Diversity Fund ($2590) from the checking account into an interest bearing account. Gail suggested opening a new /fourth Oppenheimer Account.

• The proposed 2000 budget was discussed. We currently have 217 members who have paid their dues and 204 who have not. Last year we budgeted for 380 and we ended up with more than this number. Membership typically runs between 400 and 450. Gail will adjust/correct these figures and balance the budget. Gail will send e-mail reminders for renewal for those whose addresses she has and hard copy reminders to the rest.

5.0 Officer's Reports

5.1 Past President Steve Estes (Written)

• Steve presented a summary sheet of potential hotels for the 2002 NAPEHE Conference to be held in San Antonio. The Menger Hotel was suggested due to its proximity to the River Walk and the Alamo as well as quality of the facility and price. Steve will finalize arrangements to secure this site.

5.2 President &endash;elect Bob Ruhling (Written)

• Bob met with the Future Directions Committee at the 2001 convention site at Amelia Island.
• Board members were reminded of the NAPEHE Board meeting in Orlando at the Clarion Hotel, Salon 14 on Thursday, March 23 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Board members were urged to give Bob a list of people who would make positive additions to committees. This information should be given to Bob before leaving Austin.

• Concern was expressed about the 2001 site. Members must understand that it is self-contained and not expect to see anything else unless they rent cars. It is an excellent facility, just remote. Steve Estes will create a link on NAPEHE's web page so that members can look at the site.
• Charlie presented the 2001 conference budget. Bill Forbus moved to approve the budget. Steve Estes seconded it. Motion passed.

6.5 Secretary Jackie Lund (Written)

• Minutes from January 9, 1999 and April 22, 1999 have been posted on the web. Since this is now being done, the practice of publishing minutes in the Chronicle of Physical Education in Higher Education is probably unnecessary.
• Bill Forbus moved that the minutes of board meetings and reports from the Future Directions Committee no longer be published in the Chronicle of Physical Education in Higher Education. Shaunna McGhie seconded the motion. Motion passed. NAPEHE members will be informed that minutes are posted on the web and that anyone needing a hard copy of the minutes can contact the secretary.

7.4 AAHPERD Convention Booth Cathy Buell (Written)

• We will have a booth At AAHPERD in Orlando. We will need people to cover the booth during the NAPEHE board meeting on Thursday. Also, since Cathy is on the site committee in Orlando, we will need people to cover the booth. Four exhibitor passes are allotted with the booth. These generally go to NAPEHE leadership, but perhaps one could be given to someone who will take a major role in covering he booth. Affiliate members normally participate in the booth, contributing $100. They were asked if they wanted to participate again this year.
• Let Cathy know exact furniture needs as we are billed for what we use
