Minutes 6/21/05


Attending:  Larry Burchfield, Briana Colley, Tim Bivens, Bruce Kaiser.

 

1. Minutes - Adopted from 6/13 meeting, and are on the Board login area of the website.

 

2. Marketing - Contract revoked from Fluor Hanford so we need to find areas outside the Government arena for training courses.  Need to market Metro Police, EPA, NRC, etcÖ

We do this by contacting organizations and looking for the Training Organizations.  DOE training organization was contacted as well as Homeland Security. 

 

Grants need to be pursued to supplement our income.  We will need to have vigilance in locating funding sources.  Board needs to brainstorm off-line and bring ideas to light.

 

3. 6 book proposals sent off to publisher ñ may sustain Larry with a salary to continue working non-gratis for the society.

 

4. Tim reported that products available are the courses, memberships, chart of the nuclides, job posts, and sponsorships.
