New Business:
Megan addressed the
board to propose that the next IHEIA annual banquet be combined with a one day
DNR training academy as a way to stimulate attendance at both events. It was
suggested that the training academy might have a negative effect on attendance
by some spouses. After some discussion it was decided that, if some form of
appropriate pastime could be provided during the training academy, the
combination of the two events could be beneficial. The board discussed several
perspective dates for the event, and the DNR will look further into an
appropriate subject for the academy and a site to hold the combined events
The following are perspective dates
for future meetings of the IHEIA board. Confirmation of these dates have
been verified for the Sportsman's Warehouse:
