Nothing earth shaking this month. We've discusses potential activities, marketing, and providing CEUs. If anyone has experience with organizing CEUs and has the time to walk me through the steps, I'd be grateful.

In the charter you've added, "Reviewers must be FNPS members and should be local to the region
where LMRs occur, with priority given to members of the regional chapter."

I don't think it's needed that the participant be local, especially in cases where no one has signed up or where someone has moved but is very familiar with the site and is willing to return for a review. I think you could remove that middle part, and the "priority given to members of the regional chapters"  part would still serve your likely intent.

[Live Oak CDs renewal]

Chris Moran, treasurer, is requesting to renew the 2 Live Oak CDs (1 year CD Account ending 1185 and 6 month CD Account ending 0915) that are maturing by the end of 2023.
