CCIE proposal – The proposal from Carol Patrie was reviewed and discussed.  Discussion items included the following:  amount of money available to CCIE, need for a full-time director, CCIE manual, need for autonomy, resignation of Luce Aubry, Crystal Vision proposal for a database, possibility of a new host for the website, rater training, and the need for a conference call during the face-to-face meeting next month.
  3. Patty Gordon from the RID mentoring grant committee asked for input from CIT regarding this grant.  It was stated that it is important to reach diverse communities and to look for innovative approaches.  Annette Miner will give Patty this feedback and collect any additional feedback from CIT Board members.
  4. Annette Miner (Laura Covell) moved that we donate the cost of one registration to the WASLI conference, up to $450.00.  Motion carried.  (B07:01)  Annette Miner will let them know.
  5. Project Management Software – Cindy Farnham talked with Annette Miner about the Yahoo group she established. Cindy Farnham is now a moderator, so all board members need to join to see if we can use this forum instead of project management software.  It could be used for emails, etc.  All board members need to try this before the face-to-face meeting in February.
  6. Financial Report – Cindy Farnham reported that we have $92,309 in the bank.
