Mr, Young also presented a report from the ad hoc committee studying attendance at conferences arid conventions. The trustees are to study the report and a discussion on it will be held at the next. meeting. Donald Crowley, a member of the ad hoc committee, commenting oh the report said: "There will be a lot of different views--as many as there are trustees. Most.conferen- ces are of an educational nature, with cost involved. We should be getting value back-- there should be feedback to the people who are paying the costs." The following are the points the trustees are to consider and comment on for the next meeting: 1. Functions with an estimated cost of $200 or less per delegate to be open to all executive end trustees. 2. Functions with an estimated cost of over $200 be limited to 1 executive and. 2 trustees. 3. The trustees that are able to at- tend are to make their intentions known. Delegates will be selected by drawing lots if more than two volunteers. 'The same procedure is to apply to executive if necessary, One alternate delegate is to be selected by drawing lots from remaining volunteers. 4, Brief account be given at next Board meeting following function at- tended. 5. Travel expenses be paid for delegates only. (Not for spouse or children.) 6, All delegates notify Board office of their intentions to attend functions. , Mr. Young said, "In the past I don't think we have had enough representation at conferences. We don't want to limit you to one or two when you want to go to five. Let your conscience be your guide."
