Meeting time for next month was decided to be moved from 9/15 at 10 to 9/22 at 11.

OWL technology has made hybrid meetings easier and more accessible.  This can present an advantage for CE presentations.  Mike has been planning on the January update CE to be in person.  Morris objected to in person for January due to both health and financial reasons.  Joe will investigate Owl camera and potential alternatives.

Discussion of location.  Mike is currently planning on offering Ethics CE towards the end of the year.  Also considering Liens, Inflation reduction act, and other topics based on member interest.

Certificate program.  Mike will review info sent to him later and will discuss next month.

Zoom pricing was $149/year for base level that would be sufficient.  Joe will investigate the “record to cloud” features and pricing
