Welcome:  Class President Ingar Grev welcomed the attendees and thanked Chris Owens for leading the charge for the reunion.

Financial Update:  Class Treasurer Brian Caldwell expressed his thanks to Chris Owens for the reunion.  Provided a summary status of class finances.  We currently have approximately $130,000 in the account.  Once we pay for the reunion vendors will be back down to $30,000 - what we normally keep in our account. Brian mentioned that the Alumni Association maintains and tracks all aspects of our class' financial activity.  We just switched to a new website that is easier to maintain, but we have yet to add the updated financial summary.  At any time, any classmate can email Brian to receive a copy of the latest class financial summary.

Brian also thanked the Election Committee (Jim Maxfield, Mark Harnett and Matt Sandoval) for their work on the election.

Election Results:  Election Committee Chairman Jim Maxfield provided the election results.  Almost 400 classmates voted.  Alpha codes were validated and there was good competition in the contested categories (Joe Fagan ran unopposed for Vice President). 

At-large member:  Craig Washington

Treasurer:  Brian Caldwell

Secretary:  Andy Caulfield

Vice President:  Joe Fagan

President:  Ingar Grev

There will be a validation vote to ratify the board since we did not follow the timeline in the by-laws.  Jim has secured a lifetime Survey Monkey account for the class.
