Matt and Dan-would be good to experiment with CE dates. have the 4 normal meetings per year and add in another at a different time to see what the response is (ie a winter ski course).  try to bring in out of state participants.

Duane-'13 HOD big concerns: midlevel providers and student debt.  Reudi-what about dds give loans to students? Aaron-I have piles of research on loans, repayment, etc

Joe/Dan-suggest contact fellows to see who is working on mastership.  don't like the open ended mastership program--anyone can come OR NOT.

Reudi--we should nail down our CE dates/topics 3 yrs in advance and pressure the committees to get it done.  Joe will handle mastership dates.  we may have a cap of 15-20 for a mastership course without a 2nd instructor.

Joe-May 2014 lasers in perio.  PH has Joe Stobbe's email on this

The uagd should have a google calendar--ph to send to dan/joe m and how to post dates.
post a blog for board meetings

UDA Friday luncheon CTC Brad is the speaker on prac transitions.  Reudi has the room. passed $5 for students. free to members with RSVP.

Recruiting AGD members though Roseman and UofU Dental schools.  Recommended paying for their yearly dues ($15) and doing lunches where students pay $5.
Holding board meetings for training by bringing a national AGD leader to us at resort or other location.
National funds can be used to influence local issues such as mid level providers but we need to ask for funds.
Scheduling courses and events up to three years out.  Getting committee chairs to coordinate dates and make public.  Publicizing all events more frequently.
Student to instructor ratio is 15:1
Renewal of charter organization is required when?
