Strategic PlanningEric Foster

Eric F. reported that a recent teleconference meeting had failed to materialize. Our last approved Strategic Plan was in 2003 and updates were made but never approved in 2007, so strategic planning is a great need. Eric plans for regular teleconference meetings on the Thursday prior to MGISAC meetings, meaning the next one is Aug. 5 at 9am. One of the first agenda items will be to set target completion dates. The committee has been fleshed out to include Shannon W., Jeff S, Tim H., Steve M. and Eric F. Forward any strategic ideas to the committee.

Missouri GIS ConferenceTony Spicci

Tony S. and Jamie S. presented a proposed scaled down budget for the Missouri GIS 2011 Conference. The objective is to reduce registration, workshop and exhibitor fees to possibly allow more to attend in a harsh economic environment. Liz C. motioned to accept Option 5 of the budget and Shannon W. seconded. It passed by vote. Jeff S. moved and Colin D. seconded to have electronic only versions of the Save the Date card, exhibitor and registration brochures. It passed. Liz C. moved and Jeff S. seconded not to reduce Custom Meeting Planners staff at the registration booth. It passed. The budget, as approved and modified, with conservative attendance numbers should result in a break even situation for sponsoring the conference.

The Conference theme was discussed. Colin D. moved we choose GIS: Doing More with More More Collaboration More Coordination More Communication as the conference theme. Jeff S. seconded. Vote passed.

Conference committee chairs are determined. The Save the Date electronic notice will go out about August 1 with a call for presentations and the on-line registration should also be available in the same timeframe.
