Prior months reviewed, slight correction then approved.

November CE happened but with some technical issues. Mike has developed a testing system that he will go through with all presenters to troubleshoot any potential problems before the program.

Details for December’s CE program are being finalized. It will be held 1-3pm on 12/13. He will work with Laura to advertise the program.

Discussion followed on potential CE programs to run during tax season. Amanda suggested a roundtable/open forum type event that was driven by presubmitted questions from the attendees. Mike stated that he will discuss coming back in February for that.

Speakers on CT taxes and from the Stakeholder lianson’s office were discussed and Mike stated he would reach out to people about that in the coming week.
