    Old Business:

  • Participation in a Diversity Seminar - postponed: Update on the Diversity Seminar that Chuck and Mike S. are working on a presentation for. How in genealogy do we find differences in our ancestors such as on opposite sides of a war and yet now their descendants work together, perhaps socialize with each other and find the differences in our ancestors as not important now. Any ideas on diversity and genealogy please send them to Mike or Chuck.

    New Business:

  • FERA is changing its constitution to allow for non-Ford Officers! FERA made changes in how it's structured because of the Visteon spinoff. It looks like they are now changing rules about only Ford employees being officers of clubs. We need to consider changing the constitution to allow other than Ford Employees to be President, Vice President etc
