We feel that the consistency of these invitations will for sure benefit us. Gray and Sandi made connection with the President of UAMFT. He is also the chair of the MFT’s at Utah State so we are hoping to formalize a relationship there on both fronts. He has been very responsive. Committee asks the board for "asks" for UAMFT President. Items for vote Budget Changes Suggestions from Board 6. General Board & Advisory Board Committee (GBAB) New Projects Continual recruitment email for peer consultation group, every three months. Continual recruitment email for GBAB committee. Continual retention of members who have expressed interest in the committee. Need for one to two confederate volunteers to buffer the ranks and ease tension for new attendees. Update of progress: Peer consultation meeting. The group is fully up and running. The power point/ PDF sets the pace and grants focus to the group's efforts, including review of group parameters, expectations, set up of group agenda, and its proper pacing. Gotomeeting kinks have been worked out, with inclusion of 'the owl' and the large screen.
