The treasurer's report was given by Tom Henderson.  The current savings balance is $3,700.28. The current checking account has $1,499.66. Dale Hagerman has been reimbursed for regional workshop expenses.  Tom presented the 1998 proposed budget.  The budget was accepted as presented.

Old Business

The chapter goals were reviewed as they appeared in the December 9 minutes.

Dale Hagerman attended the North Central Regional training.  He reported that JCEP (Joint Council of Extension Professionals) is actively working to increase the visibility of extension.

New Business

Tom reviewed the preliminary plans for using the ITV/ETCS system for an investment planning session.  It is tentatively scheduled for August 28, from 9:00-11:30 a.m. It is being sponsored by ESP, UMEA and University Outreach and Extension.  There will not be an ESP pre-annual conference workshop this year.  Another distance leaming experience on retirement planning will probably be scheduled for 1999.

Committee Reports

Courtesy and Memorials: David Lindell asked for assistance in recognizing marriages, births, and serious illness of members of the extension family.  Jean Sundet, Eamestine Lusby, Eileen Bennett and Don Fancher were good sources of information recommended to him.

Awards:  Gail has the information nearly ready to send information for award nominations.  It will go out in the mail at the end of May and is due back August 3. She will include additional information in the upcoming newsletter.

Newsletter: Numerous items to be included were discussed.  Deadline to Jim Spain is May 22.

A similar format to last year's will be used.

Loan & Fellowship: ESP's key role is to promote contributions to the endowment.  Another system committee selects the fellowship winners.  At the next meeting, this topic will be discussed in depth.  There was definite interest expressed in having ESP represented on the selection committee.

It was decided that ESP would sponsor the ice cream social at annual conference.  This is scheduled for Monday, October 26, at 6:00 p.m.

Next meeting is scheduled for September 3, 1998, at 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., in the Animal Sciences Center.
