4. Treasurer s Report.....Mr. Butterbrodt a. Mr. Butterbrodt referred Board members to budget handout sheet for budget line item detail (see attached budget sheet in Appendix). Mr. Butterbrodt reported that budget as shown did not included expenses from the April 13, 2016 Education Night meeting. Mr. Butterbrodt also noted that General Office expense exceeded the budgeted amount due to the purchase of an inventory of pens, which will be handed out as gifts to invited meeting speakers. He also explained that the Newsletter expense of $4,000 represented expenses associated with the website upgrades that were recently completed. Mr. Butterbrodt noted that our budget format maintains Education Night expenses as a separate line item. Current checking account balance reported as $18,856.06 and savings account balance as $26,837.41, totaling to a Net Worth of $45,693.47. b. Mr. Attwell requested that the Materials Auction line item be removed from the budget because it is not part of the Section budget, it is part of the Education Foundation budget. All Board members agreed. c. Mr. Attwell requested that the Vendor Night line item be removed because we no longer hold a Vendor Night event. All Board members agreed 5. Report from Councilor... Mr. Hill a. Mr. Hill mentioned that the next Councilor meeting would be held in two weeks in Indianapolis. b. Mr. Hill passed around for the Board members review a copy of the SPE National 3-year Operating Plan. He noted that for 2015 there was an approximately $268,000 loss. And he mentioned that a smaller loss is projected for 2016. c. Mr. Hill passed around for the Board members review a copy of the SPE National 3-year Deployment Plan (i.e. a plan of who is responsible for what). He mentioned that the Deployment Plan will be a topic of discussion at the upcoming meeting. d. Mr. Hill expressed his opinion that the many changes at SPE-National that were taking place were positive in that they were making people and committees accountable for what they are assigned to do. 6. House Report Ms. Nehls a. Ms. Nehls reported student attendance at the Education Night event as being lower than last year. She cited the lack of attendance by UW-Platteville students as probably being the biggest factor impacting attendance. b. Ms. Nehls noted that the catering expense was significantly less than last year, and as a result our monetary loss was less at only $592. c. Ms. Nehls reported that a total of $5,250 in scholarship awards was handed out at the event. And she mentioned that this news will be reported is several plastics industry publications. d. Mr. Ciezki mentioned disappointment in the fact that only one of the four students who won essay contest awards was present at the meeting to receive the award. The Board members discussed this issue and concluded that the time students spent in researching and writing their essay was more important than their attendance at the Education Night event. 7. Membership Report.. Mr. Manley a. Mr. Manley was not present. 2

b. M r. Bennett suggested that Milwaukee SPE adopt a practice of Chicago SPE in regard to new members. When a new member joins, Chicago SPE sends them a Welcome Letter. He also mentioned that Chicago SPE provided us with a copy of their Welcome Letter and offered that Milwaukee SPE could use it as a template. c. Mr.Bennett reported that Kathy of SPE National told him that section rebate checks were sent out in April and that the approximate rebate amount was $500 per quarter d. Mr. Hill made a motion that the section offer new members free registration for one technical meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bennett.

Mr. Bennett reported that the new website is working well and has been demonstrated to be successful in processing registrations for the golf outing. b. Mr. Bennett reported that the Marek Group has requested an increase in the fee from $150/mo to $240/mo for monthly updating of the website, because the amount of work required for updating is larger than anticipated. Marek also offered to perform email inquiry routing for an additional $80/mo. This topic initiated discussion of what fees we were paying last year when Mr. Merz was handling the website. Mr. Butterbrodt confirmed that the fee for Mr. Merz services was more than what the Marek group was requesting. Mr. Butterbrodt also suggested that we might consider creating the position of a Social Media chairman that would be responsible for handling the email inquiry routing in order to save the $80/mo. fee that Marek had proposed. Mr Menna volunteered to take on the task of routing the email inquiries. Mr Attwell made a motion to approve payment of a maximum of $240/mo to the Marek Group starting in May 2016 with a Board review of the fee in May 2017. Mr. Miller seconded the motion.
