M. Brainard made a brief review of the purpose of the meeting. Board members studied the draft Budget Proposal of a model that presents a new direction for the program based on membership services. Board members discussed the three columns presented in the draft proposal. M. Chappell was asked to clarify how the revenue would be generated. Comments were made that the formula may need to be modified.

Personnel costs represent the main expense for the program. There was considerable discussion on how what appears to be commission-based compensation package for program manager, and if it would be sustainable. A check with personnel regarding benefits was suggested.

Following considerable discussion, M. Brainard asked for consensus among board members to present the proposed new model, one that offers a lower members fee that is commission based. Members decided to come to the next meeting with additional information to discuss.
