I. Events

EAD Workshop-Erin has been in touch with Kris Keisling, and the workshop is set for April 4 from 1:00-4:00 in 546. Kris agreed to open the workshop up to 25 people. Trish Ben and Ron were not able to go last year so they will have priority. If 25 SAA members do not sign up, then we will open the workshop up to any Information School student. If we still do not have 25 then admission will be opened up to SAA members who went last year.
Copyright & Archives - Molly reported that Tony Reese has agreed to give a talk to SAA. Molly will find out possible dates and times.
Photography Identification Workshop - Trish reported that Roy Flukinger cannot do a workshop this spring but would be willing to do it later in the year. Barbara Brown may be able to do it - she will get back to Trish after spring break. If no one at the HRC can conduct a workshop, Traci offered to ask Linda Peterson the Center for American History or someone at the Austin History Center.
Mexico- Since more interest has appeared, the trip could happen May 30- June 1st. Molly will compile a list of interested parties and Addy will look into dormitory accommodations in the area.

II. Elections

Officers - Aubrey and Ron are interested.
Timing - It was decided that elections would take place the first week in April.

III. Annual Reports & Photos

Molly informed the board that each member will have to write annual reports by the end of the semester detailing what they did, any suggestions they might have for future officers and noting any contacts that were made over the course of the year. These reports should be given to Molly who will forward them to SAA National.
Molly, Addy, Traci and Dr. Gracy have photos of SAA events.

IV. SAA Applications

The board agreed that the treasurer should no longer receive national SAA applications. The website needs to be changed to reflect this, and more applications need to be placed in the bulletin board.

V. Other Business

Traci reported that there is $970.80 in the treasury, with more to come.
Mugs- the board decided o set up a potential order of travel mugs with he SAA logo on it, and give the new board the option of ordering them.
