The state officers have been conversing and with the lack of business that must be done this fall, the lack of additional agenda items, and the list of folks that are not going to be able to attend to present their reports,  it was unanimously agreed to cancel the upcoming meeting in Miles City.  The MIles City Chapter has been notified and they are in the process of cancelling the facilities that had been set for the meeting.  

That being said, there are some things that do need to be communicated, and the reports from the committees and contract positions will be sent out for your information and review.  To date:

Minutes from the Spring Meeting

Insurance Report

Fish Tales Report

Budget Report

Webmaster Report

Membership Report.

The items that would normally be covered this fall are:

*Election of Region Directors

*Filling the Lobbyist position-the proposal is to fill this with Dale Gilbert on an agreed trial basis, Discussion started earlier this year and will continue.  

*Discussion of the Future of Crooked Creek regarding the silt issue in the bay.

*Selection of the Location for the annual meeting in the Spring-

This is NOT a way to NOT do work.  There will be work that will need to be done and coordination and communication between the members and  the board.  It wont be easy by any means, and this certainly is not preferred, but when you couple the lack of business and the costs associated with holding this meeting, cancelling the meeting makes sense.  

As always–your feedback is important and your participation in WUM makes us all better.  Get your reports in from your committees, and add additional agenda items that we can put forward.  What none of us want is a meeting in the spring that there is too much to do because NOTHING got done this fall.  Its on all of us to make the best of this.
