The NIRAA board met at 6:30 PM on October 9, immediately before the October club meeting.

attendees:
	President: Curt Wilson (NK0T)
	Vice President: Al Jones (KB0VGG)
	Secretary: Nathan Fisher (N0ZYC)
	Treasurer: Dave Kelly (KD0DK)
	Director 2019: Stan Johnson (W0SJ)
	Director 2020: Jan Fitkin (KE0IWP)
	Director 2021: John Humpal (WB0MAR)

Current state of testing was discussed.  Al: there was no one that showed for the last testing session -
we may need to go with requiring RSVP for testing, and not go to the effort of setting up if no one is
going to be there to test?  Nathan: considering the frequent test sessions as of recently, we may have reached
"saturation" for now and need to give it a rest for a bit and wait for demand to return?

Presentations were discussed, including ideas for future presentations as well as ideas for (re)establishing
a "presentations committee".  Jan: the bylaws say "the board prepares the agenda", which is a bit vague but
suggests they plan the presentations.

Nathan: I think traditionally the president has been the one setting up presentations?
(later review of the bylaws: "The President ... shall prepare an agenda for each business meeting ..."
so it appears that the president sets the agenda)

tentative presentation ideas:

December: purpose and execution of grounding
January: discuss upcoming Winter Field Day
February: Curt (NK0T) on Nano VNA
April: possible Rocket Club presentation - John (WB0MAR will look into it)
June: discuss upcoming Field Day

Other suggestions: electronics history, radio bug-out bag, fox-hunting, alternate power, solar power,
spotting electronics scams, mag-loop antennas, broadband blocking filters, weatherproofing

Jan inquired about auditing the books.  We did an audit last year, how often is it required?  Al: we should
establish a specific month to conduct a regular audit.
(later review of the bylaws: "An audit of books shall be done at the end of the physical year by a committee
appointed by the president.")

the board will meet again in December, just prior to the December club meeting (6:30 PM)


board meeting adjourned at 6:57 PM
