Convention Busines

  1. Annette (Cindy F) moved that we grant NCIEC the Cacique level sponsorship, which includes an ad in the program book where they can list what their sponsorship includes. If we do not get a Yucahu level sponsor, we can also put the NCIEC logo on the flashdrive. Motion carried (B08: 16). We can also announce at the beginning of Dr. Vandersall’s plenary that it is sponsored by NCIEC.

  2. Discussion about a Silent Auction. It was decided to ask Myrelis if she had a possible chairperson to take on the Silent Auction. If not, then we will not have one.
  3. Discussion about an international panelist for one of the sessions and possible financial support for that person. Discussion regarding offering one or two international scholarships at the next convention. Doug (Kellie) moved that we waive registration for the panelist. Motion carried.
