Merit Badge Day Final Planning and Troop Selections
Bill presented the status of applications to date. It looked as if most of the available positions were covered by the California Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley BSA Councils (CEIC & SGVC). A motion was made by Bill and seconded by Lyle to accept all of the CIEC and SGVC applicants.
Bill was tasked with making up the class assignment rosters and preparing acceptance and elimination notification letters to be forwarded to the ExCom members for review prior to sending. Any open class assignments identified after the draft roster is prepared would go to CIEC and SGVC alternates first and then to out of area troops.
Representative(s) to Feb 10 Region 6 OpCom Meeting
Bill read a notification for the Region 6 OpCom meeting to be held at the Manhattan Beach Marriott on Feb 10. Attending this meeting is a responsibility of Region 6 section chairs or their designees. Tom agreed to try and attend.
Discuss having a joint February IECES meeting with the UCR Region 6 Awards presentation.
Mike brought forward the idea of inviting the UCR student branch 2006 region 6 award winners to the IECES banquet where we would officially present their awards. All agreed that it would be a good idea. Mike made a motion to invite them and pay for their attendance. Bill seconded. The motion passed. Tom said he would send an invitation to the UCR student branch chairman. Art also said he would provide a flyer for the IECES event.
Future Cities Trophies and Judges
Chuck Antoniak moved and Lyle seconded that we reimburse Chuck for $130 for Communications trophies for the 2007 Future Cities competition scheduled for Feb 27th. Approval was unanimous.
Chuck stated that the event needed more judges and requested that we help him get more volunteers. Tom volunteered to be a judge and Mike took the action to send out an email request for additional volunteers.
Other
There was some discussion for providing a Cal Poly biology student with funding to present a paper at an IEEE conference. The topic was deferred so Art could see if there were other funding options available at Cal Poly for this type of activity.
Art took the action to try and arrange a meeting in March at the Claremont Colleges PC Museum.

The next ExCom meeting was scheduled for February 6.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm.
