Bobbie mentioned that the April program needs to be swapped out. ASU – Jake would be presenting, March would be Revit, and that they were booked through November with exception of April mentioned.
Panel discussion for September for 2-3 min per speakers with slides.
Christmas event, discussions were that lower cost such as the $50/guest cost were better to keep interest vs the $65/guest.
Professional Development/Academic: Heather reported a CDT training session will likely be held at TRL prior to the CDT exam in mid-April and will confirm with presenters, etc. and determine date for training sessions. Dates were for late February or early March. TBD. Suggested to have Kelly Reese discuss experience and process used to pass the exam, including study group arranged.

Heather to follow up at February meeting on MCC student chapter update. Classes for specifications, curriculum discussing with Mark on other programs.

Certification: A list of successful applicants has not yet been distributed. It was noted that at least two of the last seminar participants have passed the CDT exam. There were 8 attendees to the fall course that was offered.
I Cube: Eduardo Galindo brought up future cities, format, late date, no participation this year for student level and that front end is better. City was to build it whether it would be temporary or permanent location.
Fundraising: Terry Vaughan mentioned the Golf Tournament would be held April 6 at San Marcos. Discussions were to reach out to Earnhardt to get a vehicle donated for a hole in one prize. Possibly obtain a motorcycle prize for a hole in one as well. We need to get as many sponsors to make this a successful event. Joe Parenza mentioned he would be available to meet the week after next.
