Reports from the Committee Chairs
Publications & Public Relations, Phyllis Terry Friedman
● Phyllis plugged for filling gaps in newsletter coverage, ideally with a diversity and/or international column.  Invited folks to friend organization through her Facebook page.
Membership/Resources/ Website/Listserv, Karen Saules
● Karen reviewed how access to listserv and website are managed and what resources are available
● Encouraged executive board to think ahead about how we might transition to a new website; Karen will work with this group to make sure new system would cover all the features we currently have and want to keep, with some of the more cumbersome aspects remedied. 
● Encouraged everyone send photos to Karen to upload so that member directory will include visual information
New Director Support, Leticia Flores
● Introduced new members and explained past efforts to help them get involved.  Introduced Heidi Zetzer, who is taking over this committee
Research Committee, Eric Sauer
● Acknowledged APTC co-authors on in-press TEPP publication, first authored by Jennifer Callahan, APTC co-authors include Eric Sauer, Karen Saules, Erica Wise, Scott Gustafson, and Jen Schwartz
Survey Group, Patti Ann Louise Petretic
● New committee that will work on getting more systematic and updated data from our members, so that we can all report on how comparable clinics operate when that information is needed
Competencies, Bob Hatcher
● Looking for new committee members, referred to his presentation for additional details about competency issues, past, present, and future
Treasurer’s Report, Bill Rae
● Unanticipated budget shortfall for the current year because we didn’t adequately foresee this year’s conference costs, which were partly due to an extra day of programming and partly due to unforeseen high attendance relative to past years
● General consensus was to agree with Bill’s recommendation that we increase conference fees in future years because APTC subsidizes an inordinate percentage of costs; most/all seemed to feel that a conference fee of $250 instead of the current $100 would be reasonable, given the perks and benefits that attendance offers. EC will take this up further at Sunday morning Executive Committee breakfast meeting
Programs & Conferences, Karen Fondacaro & Mike Taylor
● Looking for input on meeting location for next year
● Posters seemed to work well this year, so we will probably continue that component of the meeting
● Patti Bach volunteered to help with programming next year as possible co-chair replacing Karen Fondacaro
