Ø Sergio had a copy of the Iowa Chapters meeting agendas. He would like us to incorporate some of their ideas into ours, ie. a map to the meeting location. He emailed a copy to all the members, and would like everyone to take a look at it to see what other ideas we can use in the Rockford Chapters agendas.

Ø Sergio passed around a petition for all members to sign. This was initiated by Gil Avery and directed to the Ashrae Board of Directors. This petition is to reduce the number of signatures (from 300 to 200 and from 150 to 100 from any one chapter), which is required to place an issue on the ballot for a vote by the general membership. Sergio asked that everyone make sure to read and sign.
