of names and phone numbers on a web site. Jan reported that the cost of the 28-30 page draft will cost approximately

terms of all current officers and area reps are opened to election in March

each of the four officer positions and five area rep positions. Candidates for the positions will be from the membership of the DBAA area
to include Clayton, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties.
The Board determined that staggered terms for the Reps should be 2 years

most votes will serve for a term of two years and the other two reps will
serve for a term of one year each pending approval of the by-laws.
