New Business

  • Some items from previous meeting Open Time (her to ensure required Board business completed first)
  • As noted at last months Board meeting by Alec M., there are no formal agreements with BYB or AMF Nano. Open discussion about whether there should be and/or if yes, how often to review.
  • Company space utilization. BYB pays for mold-making room, should AMF Nano pay for storage?
  • Should we stay OR should we go? Regardless, most members agree space is an issue (see survey results for specifics)
