Our 1st Board meeting post AGM took place on May 6 at the St. Albert Legion. Welcomed were new Directors Riki Roy, Anne Meunier, Lorraine and Fred Carlson!
It was a pleasure to have a full complement of 10 directors for the first time in a number of years!
Bernd is working on finding new software for the production of our newsletter, AGM booklet, brochures and any other paper products we may choose to develop. It looks like “Canva Affinity” will be the choice. Good news – it is a free program unless we find that the AI component is a needed tool, in which case we would have to pay $146.00 yearly. It was moved and passed that Bernd be allowed to purchase this if necessary.
Riki pointed out that most people no longer use Microsoft programs for word processing and spreadsheets. There are free options available, of which Google Docs is one. Bernd will explore this option with Riki’s help and if this works for us then we can cancel our Microsoft subscription and save the $152.25 subscription fee, due in December of each year.
Reimbursement parameters were discussed without a final decision being made.
