I guess we have a few things to discuss. The biggest one that I can think of is the youth bylaws. I will have a draft ready by the convention for us to look at. I'm not sure when the BoD meeting is, but I was hoping I could get the bylaws approved at the convention. Oh well, I guess it can wait until the International if we can't discuss it in time.
We'll also discuss activities that we could plan for the international, like the pizza party which was provided by the arena in Shelbyville so we'll have to do it ourselves in St Louis.
Other than that, I don't think I really have much else to talk about. My other goal that I hope to have almost done by convention is filling up empty director spots. When I finish the bylaws we should have a much clearer idea of the responsibilities of a director so hopefully you all will know what exactly you're supposed to do within your region.
For now, as directors, try to talk to some people in your state or region (by phone or internet or maybe you'll have your year-end banquet) and let's spark some ideas to talk about at the convention. If you won't be there, let me know online or post it on one of the message boards and I'll make sure it is discussed at the meeting.
