Minutes of the June board meeting were reviewed and approved.

The group reviewed and approved the financial statement through July.

Programming for upcoming months was discussed. The September meeting will include a speaker, Mike Harrison from Endurance America who will talk about building a culture to accept change. The session will last from 8:30 - 1:30 am and the only cost to the group is mileage and hotel. Possible topics for future months include round table, identify theft, financial literacy, diversity, legislative updates with an HR focus and a topic of interest from a law firm.

Future board meeting options were discussed. Due to rising fuel costs and physical locations of board members, ideas were raised for meetings such as teleconferencing, rotating locations, or combining the board meeting with the regular chapter meeting. It was decided to continue meeting at Sunflower Hill Coffee Shop. Can discuss again later if the need arises.

Discussed study groups for PHR or SPHR. Decided to e-mail members information on the study group given by the University of Mary.

The next board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 9th at 8:30 - 9:30 am Sunflower Hill Coffee Shop in the Detroit Lakes Washington Square Mall.
