The meeting was called to order by President Sanderson at 11:04 AM PST. Chaplin Reece delivered the opening invocation. This meeting was a special session called by outgoing President Sanderson for the purpose of strategic planning for the organization. Strategic planning allows for the Board of Directors to analyze potential services for the membership, a path for future growth, and to recognize potential needs well in advance.
