White Pages will be published with the survey in next Newsletter (survey

to purchase the display.  It costs approx. $4,800.00.  Harvey S. will
bring information on it to the February meeting. 

6.  New Business:

a.  Advertising Marketing for Newsletter.  Harvey distributed ASQC policy
on paid advertising to the Board.  We need to develop a strategy for
soliciting advertising.  Each Board member should contact a few companies;
offer something like the 1st month free advertising in our Newsletter with
a commitment for 2 additional months at full price.  Roger S. advised that
we must put all paid advertising on one page of the Newsletter for tax
liability purposes (similar to an advertising page in a newspaper). 
Harvey, Bill Toth and Faisel will put together a strategy to present at
the February Board meeting. 

b.  E-media Liaison.  There was discussion between Bill C. and Section
0509 to do electronic media.  Section 0509 Board offered Bill C. the job
of E-Media Chair of Section 0509.  Harvey S. expressed his wish that Bill
C.  stay in Section 0511, but agreed that being a liaison for electronic
media between the 2 sections was a good idea.  Bill C. will act as
electronic media liaison between Section 0511 and 0509.
