PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Retreat date: the Oct. 13 date has been postponed until the weekend of Nov. 10-11. It may possibly be combined with a regular board meeting, and be held c/o LD in Santa Rosa. ALL BOARD MEMBERS TO INDICATE PREFERRED DATE. ALL
PROGRAMS: MG reported a net profit to MAG of $158 from the photoshop workshop. There is support for a further series, provided we can find a new venue. There will be a short article in the
GUILDLETTER: about this, including the host's URL. LD
Grant writing workshop: Carol Tannenbaum will teach this in 2008.
Enamelling workshop: Kim Keyworth might teach this in 2008.
Need for a new Programs Committee chair: RD may play a greater role on this committee provided the work load is shared. DL circulated a new calendar, plus documents needed by the committee. She stressed the current need for a new Publicity chairperson, and encouraged all members to come forward with program ideas. RD has a contact who might chair Publicity, and who should be invited to a board meeting. LD suggested asking all members (e.g. new, and at re-up) about their skills and willingness to volunteer. AC will add a note on the back of our sign-up sheets. AC, MH, DL, RD, LD General meeting: AC suggested Jennifer Horning, from Ethical Metalsmiths, as a speaker, and will follow-up. AC
Refund policy: MH drafted a refund policy for our workshops, which was revised after discussion and will be circulated by email. The Board agreed that people who cancelled up to 14 days before the event should get a full refund; if they cancel between 14 to 7 days, they'd get 75% of the course fee. Under 7 days there would be no refund. MH, ALL
EXHIBITIONS: RE reported there might be a show at the Collectors Gallery in 2008. DL suggested one at the Oakland Art Gallery (which RE has just joined, and will check out.) DL also reported the Enamellist Society will have a juried exhibition at this gallery in 2009, and expressed interest in MAG's cooperation. RE, DL JCG urged the Board to see the current show of work by Manchester jewelers at Velvet da Vinci. She offered to check out major conferences and events in 2008-9 to see if MAG could arrange an exhibition tie-in. JCG, ALL JCG will also check on the exhibitions policy at SFO. JCG RE recommended visiting the Art Murmur, on the 1st Friday of each month, when small galleries in downtown Oakland stay open late. ALL
TREASURER'S REPORT: EG referred the Board to his current email on our current fiscal status (good!) He asked whether we should continue spending $118 annually on our voice mail service (last year this got 85 calls, costing us $1.40 each). The Board voted to discontinue. We should be careful about dropping the MAG phone number from all written and website communications. LD, SH, EO, AC, ALL EG asked all committee chairs to prepare a draft budget for 2008, for review and approval at the next meeting. ALL
LIBRARY: AC reported a lot of day use, and is working on a system to process checkouts. RD is working on an Excel database. She also advocated an opening reception next spring, in- cluding a tea, possibly combined with a one day show at Scintillant. AC, RD FRACTURED ATLAS RD reported MAG's membership went through. LD is including a flyer in the next GUILDLETTER, and an article about our membership/health coverage in the issue after that. Mean- while AC will email MAG members about this. DL, RD, AC
HOSPITALITY: SB reported about 45 people came to the summer party, and the host, Kristen Caulfield, may be willing to host future events. April Higashi might be willing to host an event next year. Other suggestions included Kim Keyworth, and a yoga studio near AA's studio in Oakland. Backup possibilities were c/o DL or AC. ALl Board members were encouraged to look for other venues. We might also consider a raffle at the next holiday party. DB, DL, ALL GUILDLETTER DL reported encouraging support for the newsletter, and for new writers. The survey only had 9 responses, but some of the respondents would pay higher membership fees for a bigger newsletter, and were in favor of advertising from suppliers and MAG members (e.g. shows, want-ads) to support this. She will continue as editor until a replacement is found, mentioning Bay Area Cynthia Clearwater, who currently helps with proof-reading. LD recommended more frequent surveys to find out members' needs and wants. Adding two more pages to the GUILDLETTER would not cost additional postage, however would not be done until a new editor has been found and has been established. LD recommended archiving back issues on our website. SH The December/January issue will feature MAG business. She will email committee chairs for progress reports. LD, ALL LD was complimented on her excellent work as editor.
WEBSITE: The Board agreed not to include the addresses of board meeting hosts. Board members' names will be added, and AC will check whether to include phone numbers or email addresses. SH, AC The old voice-mail number will be discontinued. Links to MAG's website will keep the address and PO box number. SH
OTHER BUSINESS: AC reported that all our display cases are rented for an outside event. We should deny requests to repaint the bases. We also need a permanent tag to accompany the cases.
NEXT MEETING: date, time and place to be determined. The meeting adjourned at 9:10pm.

It was agreed the committee (with Board help) approve and publish a professional protocol for packaging and mailing pieces (based on the presentation given by Harriete Estel Berman and EO). RE will meet with the gallery's Mary Ellen Landis, emphasizing MAG's regret and responsibility for the problem, and the steps the whole Board is taking to prevent any possible future problems.

The Board agreed that proper handling of complaints should include the following: listen carefully, without becoming defensive; acknowledge the problem; agree on remediation; act promptly and communicate fully to all interested people.

MAG will follow up on inquiries about cooperative shows from The Clay and Glass Association and the Enamel Guild. AA, SH
All Board members were encouraged to suggest promising new venues for exhibitions. These could include: the Oakland Airport, the San Francisco Airport, and the new Berkeley Art Center. All shows must be covered by existing insurance. DL, JCG, AA

PROGRAMS:

The Board will get there at 1:45 to set up, registration will be held from 2-2:30pm, and the program will start at 2:30pm. SH and RE will bring long extension cords.

EO distributed a 1 page sheet about MAG for prospective members. RC shared a handout from Cole Hardware describing the benefits of being a community partner. She will sign MAG up, and send a note for inclusion in the GUILDLETTER. RC, LD
TREASURER'S REPORT:
There was a discussion on EG's previously circulated report. EG made the
request for fiscal prudence, since MAG's projected net income for 2007
will be much less than for 2006. He requested budget figures from Programs
and Publicity. He also asked committee chairs to report all expenses for
a particular event or activity, including room rental, food and postage,
to give the Board a clearer idea which things were money-makers or losers.
AP, who is leaving the Board, felt the Publicity budget should be minimal,
since most outreach is done electronically, or by phone and fax, though
a printed press packet was desirable. DL, KN
After more discussion, the Board recommended that Workshops should be a separate category, and Hospitality, while remaining a separate activity, should be included under Programs. Speakers' fees should be in the range of $75-$200, at the discretion of the Programs Committee, but should not exceed the committee's 2007 budget. To be determined: how much should MAG pay for space, e.g. at Scintillant Studios.
The issue was raised whether some workshops were so important to MAG's educational activities that they should be subsidized, if necessary (typically when attendance was less than 5-7 people). This issue should be part of a more formal and lengthy meeting to discuss MAG's current and future goals and mission. AC
EG felt MAG could possibly save money by investing in a bulk mail permit. However, objections were raised, mainly that we may not have the minimum 200 members until mid year, and in any case would need to get two separate permits, one for San Francisco and the other from Santa Rosa (GUILDLETTER mailings).
PayPal: so far only two people have used this service. It needs more publicity (website, email and GUILDLETTER). AC, SH, LD
EG will resubmit his revised budget as soon as he has all his information. Hopefully, the Board can vote on this by email. EG
EXHIBITIONS:
RE reported the Collectors Gallery show was doing well, but had no interim
sales figures. The Board suggested the committee work with Mary Ellen
Landes to notify artists when their piece(s) had been sold so that replacement(s)
could be submitted to reinforce the exhibition. The committee is preparing
to take down the show later this month. Members will also discuss a possible
repeat show in 2007. They are also preparing a step-by-step guide to the
logistics and politics of this particular show which will take into account
the views of all the museum stakeholders.
The committee was encouraged to check out other possible venues for shows, including Velvet da Vinci and Berkeley Art Center. RE HOSPITALITY RC and others commented on the small attendance at last month's holiday party. We might consider rescheduling the 2007 event till after the New Year. RC and SB will start looking for a host location for our summer picnic, which should include an activity such as a demo or tour. EG said he'd use last year's figures for the 2007 budget.
AA will email DL about a 2007 version of MAG's events calendar. AA, DL
PUBLICITY:
AP was thanked for her work on MAG's publicity. She passed her folder
to AA to give to her replacement. AA encouraged everyone to search for
a new person. AP reminded the committee chairs of the need to stay closely
in touch with whoever takes the job. ALL
WEB SITE:
EO requested a form generated by PayPal giving more information about
the member: SH will check this out. SH
All new membership renewal forms or reminders should now include the PayPal
information. AC, EO, LD, SH
NEXT MEETING:
Since Monday evenings do not suit all Board members, a tentative date
was set for Tuesday, Mar. 13, 6:30 pm c/o Emiko, 190 San Carlos St., San
Francisco. In future the meeting host should send AC travel directions
so he can include it in the agenda. EO, AC, ALL
The meeting concluded at 9:00 pm
