George Parkinson called the meeting to order at 10:00
a.m. and reviewed the agenda. It was moved by Jim
Oda and seconded by John Fleming to approve the minutes
from 30 October 2003. Motion passed.
The board turned its attention to the primary item
on the agenda, The Ohio 2010 Plan. A
subcommittee, consisting of Mike Lucas, Rai Goerler,
Julie McMaster, George Parkinson, and Rachel Tooker,
had met several times since the last meeting of the
board in October 2003 and formulated a draft version
that incorporated input from the records conference
of September 2003. On behalf of that committee Goerler
presented organizing points for the new plan that
resembled, he noted, the four goals of The
Ohio 2003 Plan. A lengthy discussion ensued
with the board suggesting a variety of significant
additions and revisions.
It was concluded that the draft plan was ready for
distribution to the Board of Trustees of the Ohio
Historical Society, in anticipation of their meeting
in March, to which the board had been asked to make
a thirty-minute presentation on its activities. A
subcommittee of Raimund Goerler, Barbara Floyd, Charles
Arp and George Parkinson was assigned responsibility
for this event, and it was decided that the entire
board be present and join the trustees for lunch.
The board acknowledged Julie McMaster on her remarkable
and outstanding contributions to the drafting of the
new plan.
Parkinson provided an update on efforts to revise
the recently reviewed grant proposals. He also reported
on Ronald Koetters' request that not to be considered
for a new term.
It was moved by John Fleming and seconded by George
Parkinson to adjourn the meeting at 1:05 p.m. Motion
passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
William K. Laidlaw
State Coordinator
