9. Webmaster/Website redesign: Chair Kim Ositis sent a report. The committee has been busy and the new site will soon be up and running. A tour of the site will be scheduled for a later meeting.

Tina Ching mentioned the efforts undertaken by LLOPS to contribute to the AALL inventory of primary state materials. Other volunteers are needed.
12. Treasurer: Christy Leith reported on the financial health of the organization. We benefitted from substantial vendor contributions this year but given the economic climate, these contributions may be significantly reduced in the future. Vendor contributions and membership dues are the primary source of income for LLOPS. With the newsletter going to blog format, discussion ensued on the potential loss of income from advertising. We’ll need to keep potential income losses in mind for future budgeting.
13. LLOPS President’s Award: Outgoing president Robyn Hagle presented the award to the Blog Committee.
14. Executive Board: Robyn Hagle passed the LLOPS gavel to Mort Brinchmann. Crystal Norton will be vice president/president elect. Tina Ching (secretary) will be the only member leaving the Board. Judy Davis replaces her

Respectfully submtited,
Judy Davis, secretary
