Theme/Website – Navigating Uncharted Waters – Topics and faculty have been posted.
Registration will be brought up as soon as we are able. The costs must be established and
the topics must be in place before it can go live. Our target date is late October at the latest.
NASFAA Regional Guest as Presenter – A regional guest will be joining us at our “super
meeting.” Wendy will find out who that person is and invite her to participate on Wednesday.
This will allow us to have additional faculty and also emphasize our relationship with
NASFAA.
Schedule for Management and Leadership Institute as of June 11, 2010 – We have added
some notes to our schedule. Overall the schedule itself looks very doable. See schedule for
more information.
Information from Past MLI Chairs – Kay & Catherine are sharing the information they have
from their time as chairs of MLI. Wendy will sift through the information and share with the
committee any items that seem of interest to the committee as a whole.
Topics We May Cover – We will have further conversation on this when we next meet with
all members present:
Resources Available for Staying Up to Date and Staying in Compliance
How to Organize Yourself

Charge for the MLI – Includes room costs & some meals – Registration should be clear.
WASFAA EC members recommend no commuter rate. Committee members costs to
participate will be covered through the payments from participants.

Registration - Registration should be up by late October at the latest. The early registration
deadline will be Friday, January 7, 2010. We must be clear on the logistics for the stay travel arrangements from the airport to hotel so arrival time at the airport and hotel can be
planned accordingly, meals that are covered and those that are not, free time, optional
dessert reception.
End of Meeting Time for Committee Members – Wendy will confirm with the committee
when we will end or working time together – depends on travel possibilities. If they are not
too difficult, we will probably have lunch together and debrief until 2 or 2:30. We can also
talk about arrival time at our next meeting so that committee members can begin to make
plans.
