Below are the meeting minutes from the 1/16/2008 meeting. We had the meeting right after the joint meeting with AlChE.

1. 2008 Officers: Travis is the new president. Arthur is the new vice-president. Secretary/Treasurer duty is now shared among Phil, Arthu, and Alysen.
2. General Meeting in Feb, March, and April: The Feb. meeting will be on the 16th as a joint presentation sponsored by ASQ. The presentation topic has not been confirmed yet.  Alysen will get the details from her contact in ASQ.  The March meeting is still open, and Travis will contact herb for potential presenters.  The April meeting will be our usual Spring Workshop (see below).
3. Check bank balance:  Arthur will check the checking account balance and report back to the group.  There are some reimbursements that need to be processed.
4. Spring Management Worksho: We are tentatively looking at 4/19, and mostly likely hold it at Edwards Campus again.  We will need to contact Prof. Chick Keller and Prof. Tom Bowlin see if they can present.  We want to find a third, "outside" presenter, as well.
5. JEC Meeting: Phil and/or Alysen will attend the meeting on 1/28.  This usually occur on the fourth Monday of each month if anyone else is interested in attending.
6. Shirts: Alysen will request current information from the vendor that we have used in the past.  We are considering a long sleeved, light denim shirt embroidered with the ASEM logo.  Once we get the setup and per shirt costs, we can decide on quantities.
7. Website info: Nothing new to report.

New businesses:

1. Tuesday, February 19, is "Engineering Week"  It will be held at the downtown Marriot.  Herb will have a booth there for EMGT.
2. Travis will look into whether a Lawrence location would make sense for a general meeting.  There are a handful of undergrad EMGT classes. If there is enough interest, perhaps we could do the March meeting here. Travis will meet with Herb to discuss this and other EMGT/ASEM collaboration.
