The 2008 Training conference was a great week. I think we can all agree that the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and insightful.
The board of Directors met with the members during the business meeting and presented several changes to be made to the HIT Constitution and By-Laws. Attached you will find the proposed changes. A ballot vote was taken by the membership to unanimously make the attached changes. The changes will affect the board by reducing the number of your board of directors from 15 to 10. The membership also voted to increase the cost of next year’s conference from $150 to $200 and from $125 for life members to $150 for life members. The message board attached to the web site has not worked properly so it was decided to delete that from the web site. Please feel free to contact any member of the board to voice your opinion about the constitutional changes.
