The Board of Directors meeting was held on May 16, 2012 in the RMAG office boardroom. The meeting began with a review of RMAG’s April income and expenses. Our budget is still on track. Income is up from last year and expenses are close to where they were projected to be for this year.

The Continuing Education Committee reported that lunch talks are scheduled through September. You may have already noticed, RMAG has decided not to move the luncheon talks from the Marriott City Center, as previously planned due to a misunderstanding. The luncheons will continue to be held at the Marriott City Center throughout the remainder of the 2012 calendar year. I hope everyone enjoyed the first speaker, Dick
Bishop, of the Summer Speaker Series that was held on June 13th. Be on the lookout for dates and the speaker line-up for the rest of the talks in this summer series. RMAG is staying busy with several great events planned for the remainder of the year. Ready, set, mark your calendars!!! The Niobrara Symposium is planned for July 24th, the Prospect Fair is set for September 12th, the Fall Symposium will be held on October 22nd, and the
Rockbuster Ball is being planned for November.

Much of the meeting was spent discussing criteria for a new RMAG employee. The RMAG Board of Directors is in the process of interview candidates. Thank you to all who  applied and everyone who gave us recommendations. Hopefully, by the time you read this we will have added a new face to the RMAG office.

The RMAG Golf Tournament was held on June 28th at Fossil Trace. It was sold out. I hope everyone had a great time, I know I did. I look forward to this event every year. A big THANK YOU to Neil Sharp and the rest of the committee members involved who made this event possible.

The June Board of Director’s meeting was held on Wednesday, May 20th, at the University Building conference room on the 11th flfloor. The July meeting will be held July 18th at the same location.
