National Conference
Upon feedback for the proposal and official announcement, Randall didn’t really see an overall theme or inititiatives that JETAA has on the table for 2009-2010 or follow up initiatives from previous years.

(Action) Ryan will review the roles and responsibilities of the chapter versus the CR’s in support role with Emi Fukuda, President and Project Manager on the 2009 National Conference on June 9th.

(Action) The CRs will shoot for putting together comprehensive and easy-to-use-and-understand information, templates, and applications for those chapters that are thinking of hosting a conference to get them started on submitting a proposal.
