Sheila Adams reported that the website is in operation. Providers are asked for input or suggestions. It was suggested that we make our clients aware of the website. We will try to begin putting CPCCA meeting minutes on the web.

Sigrid announced that Christine Ellsworth has been appointed treasurer for the remainder of this term and has been nominated for that position for 2003.
The slate of candidates for offices and for committee chairpersons was presented. As we would like to have a "co" for each position, all members were urged to consider volunteering for one of the offices or committees.
There were no requests for specific training programs in 2003. Stephanie Smith volunteered to work with Sigrid to co-ordinate
programs in 2003.
