July 26 will be the first IHPC meeting for the new fiscal year. The IHPC committee consists of Mark Foster, Joyce Hunter, Bill McPherson, Norman Herbert, Claire Foley, and Mark Ouimet.

A committee to build the new slate of officers for 2024-2025 is also getting started. This committee consists of Mark Foster, Joyce Hunter, Kathy Waugh, Barbara Eichmuller, Joanne Pierson, and Mark Ouimet.

The board continues to review the ability to maintain the Hybrid Meeting platform. The survey results were discussed in detail, and all agreed that we need to inform the membership. It is important for the membership to understand how we manage to balance the board budget each year and how difficult it would be to reduce expenditures to fund hybrid meetings.
