Old Business:
· Committee Report: Irma Mahone explored CEU’s. Our provider status has expired but VACPN can still provide contact hours. Irma discussed that the PRO to have having provider status could help with membership and raises credibility. CON to having provider status is that it costs $358/year and VACPN would have to account for all activity with any drug representatives.
o Joyce Southern suggested taking a poll regarding CEUs and Jennifer Phelps will be adding a poll regarding CEUs to the website
· Vice President now has the added responsibility of coordinating with Regional Reps. Flora Fenchel will continue to act as Vice President until Jayne James is present at a conference or meeting

· VACPN Jackets: Voted on options: Hoodie versus Jacket; Jacket won. Reserve your jacket on the website and pay for the jacket at the Spring Conference

New Business:
