Present at the Meeting: Chris Adams, Betsi Middleton, Joan Best
Meeting Called to Order: 11:45 am

Discussion:

1. President-Chris Adams brought up the question of when the next CMENC chapter meeting should be held. The quorum present decided that Thursday 12/2/1999 at 12:00pm was the best time for the last meeting of the quarter.
2. President brought the board up to date on the progress of the acceptance of the chapter's constitution by SOC (Student Organization Council). It needs to be revised and resubmitted to the SOC in order to establish our membership as a student group at PSU.

   A tentative date for the board to work on the constitution was set for Thanksgiving weekend.



3. President reported on progress of organizing presentations for the CMENC chapter meetings. David Jimerson: Changing male voice/Children's voices? Dr Bruce Browne: Choral Conducting and rehersal technique question session SWOKE (Southern Washington and Oregon Kodaly Educators): Kodaly-inspired music teaching. Love Makes a Family: How to discourage discrimination in the classroom.

   These presentations will not occur until after the convention in January, most likely.

4. The board reviewed the chapter's tentative membership list. There are many people who still need to turn in applications.
5. The board reviewed the links on the Chapter Website. A board meeting was tentatively scheduled for Christmas break to work on information to be posted on the website.
6. The president obtained a list from Dr Browne of classes recommended for and organizations to join for future choral directors. She will have a meegin with Dr Tuttle to obtain information for future band directors.
7. The president reported on recent meeting with the Dean of FPA. He suggests music students write letters to the Provost to request better facilities. This idea will be discussed at the next chapter meeting.
8. The President brought up the idea of having music education internships.
9. The board discussed ways of raising money for the chapter (scholarships for dues, get togethers, activites etc.) Doing concessions at the FPA functions is one possibility. Carol grams were another. These ideas will be explored further.
