The following persons were in attendance: Martha Saenz-Schroeder, Janet Blizzard, Pat Gillman, Colette Winston, Nancy Newkirk, Julia Frey, Linda Bridgman, Pat Gurne, Barbara Werthmann, Ilene Price, Mary Revell, Martha McQuade, and Mary Anglin. Secretary's Report - The Minutes of the Annual Meeting held May 27, 1986 and the Minutes of the WBA Board of Director's Meeting held May 20, 1986 were adopted as revised. A motion was made, seconded and carried (MSC) that those 38 persons proposed for membership on the list entitled New Members for Board Approval from May 23rd were so approved. Report by Publications Committee - Martha McQuade, Editor of the Career Opportunities Bulletin, reported that although the Bulletin would be type-set from now on, the cost of publication would remain the same. There was some discussion regarding whether the job listing section of the Bulletin should be significantly reduced, and if so, what methods would ensure that WBA members have convenient access to the Job Listing Notebook. Martha stated that the Bulletin will focus on items of interest to WBA members different from those items addressed in the Newsletter. Mary Anglin, Editor of the WBA Newsletter, reported that the goals this year for the Newsletter are to better serve the membership by providing timely notification of events and well written articles. The copy due date schedule has been moved up in order to ensure that members receive their Newsletter in advance of events occuring. The publication dates for the Newsletter and the Bulletin are staggered so as to not inundate the members with publications at the same time. There was some discussion regarding the necessity of having a picture in the Newsletter and who should pick up the cost of the photographer. It was the general concensus that the Editor should have the discretion of whether to run a photograph. Additionally, it was suggested that a way to cut down the cost of securing a photograph is to ask speakers to supply a photo. Discussion also centered around advertisements in the Newsletter and Pat Gurne requested that the Editor not place advertisements on the back of that portion of the Newsletter which is returned to the WBA office with reservations. In order to inform the membership of events which occured after the last publication of the Newsletter Pat Gurne made a motion which was MSC that the WBA authorize the Editor to send a mailing to the membership as soon as possible which would include notice of election results, the Woman Lawyer of the Year Award, the new Executive Director, the new offices and any other information the President wishes to include. Articles are to be sent to the Editors home address. Report by the Showcase Committee - Wendy Adams, co-chair ofthe Showcase Committee reported that the Committee will be responsible for putting on one to two programs a year, and will coordinate a monthly program with a different committee in each of the other months.
