A discussion was held concerning the upcoming GenTech Conference in
Mesquite, TX on February 2 and 3. It was decided that a 2 to 3 page
brochure would be produced for distribution at this conference. Wayne
Duncan and Connie Burkett have been working on the development a prototype
to be approved by the Board of Directors. The content of the brochure was
discussed and all Board members present agreed that the files previously
sent by Connie were professional and acceptable for distribution.

Ron Eason will send an announcement to the mail list so that the general
membership will have an opportunity to receive the information about the
conference.

Sue Soden informed the Board that the uploaded Bylaws file link to the
Michigan Act had been changed to the official site and that the title
Honorary needed to be added to some of the tech volunteers on the Who's Who
page. All Board members present agreed to the changes.

A discussion was held regarding the need to send files to the Archives if a
transcriber personally purchased the first S-K CD. A determination was made
the CD belonged to the transcriber and was not donated by SK Publications.
The transcribed file does not need to be sent to the Archives Census
Project.

Sue was asked to develop a button for Extended Index. The expanded index
covers transcriptions of the index that contain more detailed information
than just the name and page number. These indexes are being done by some
transcribers for census images that have been placed online.

The meeting was adjourned.
