President's report
I am working with our broker at Merrill Lynch to establish the recommended investment strategy we discussed at the last in person meeting. They drafted new paperwork for myself and Stephen Frost to sign and we should have that paperwork signed and submitted shortly. Thank you to SPI Director Jonatas L. Nogueira for helping track outstanding tasks. Continued thanks to SPI Vice President, Stephen Frost, for handling contracting with SPI's contractors. Stephen continues to do a fantastic job working with our contractors and legal counsel. Per Treasury team request, I'm working with Merrill Lynch to rebalance some of our accounts and should have that done this week.
Vice President's report
- None
Treasurer's report
Most payments are processed. We should start evaluating the reimbursement system in the upcoming month. We are also closing books for the past year.
Secretary's report
I have sent the 2024 Conflict of Interest Form directly to board members whose previous policy has either expired or will expire within the next few months. Please let me know if you did not receive this and if you haven't submitted one within ~12 months. Face-to-face meeting planning is in progress but there is no update since the last meeting.
