o Electronic email renewal reminders to go out.
o Mass email for donations went out. 3 members from old IE users who couldn't complete transaction.
o Jenny not on Feedback list any more. Office flow working much better. Still looking at email streamlining - probably will promote feedback and info. Eliminate office and frontdesk. Leave orders working plus give Gary his own email.
o Special promotions (e.g. holiday memberships) ... just do low-tech this year. Put pdf on Web for download & printing. Also need to add offline order form to web. (Josh to work with Gary & Georgette to figure out how to do this.)
o Invoice to print ... see email from Walt.
o TrailWalker order form needs changing for new shipping & handling too.
o As part of audit process, will be streamlining volume of information auditors have to review. (e.g. can we sidestep Visa/MC issue?)

* Google Analytics and Theming (Doug)

Good results coming in from site traffic.

* Business model (Ann)

• Summarize what's in 2010 budget & plan re Web site.
o Technology committee should be proactive and take capabilities/needs before the other committees.
