Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

" The minutes of April 6-7, 2006 meeting as posted on the SERA IEG website and the financial report presented by R. Bacon were unanimously approved. " Discussion was opened regarding the need to nominate a new Treasurer since Paul Rose, who was elected at the meeting in Fayetteville in April 2006, no longer works for the University of Georgia. After some discussion, a motion was made and the vote carried that a new nominee would be selected by asking the participants, through the groups list-serve, to nominate candidates after which an electronic vote would be conducted to elect the Chairperson for 2007-2008. It was agreed that once a new officer is elected, that person will select a site for the 2008 meeting. " It was discussed and agreed that efforts should be made to include the Midwest Canola group in our activities as much as possible. " A motion was made and the vote carried that the November 14, 2006 meeting would substitute for the 2007 annual meeting. " It was noted that the SERA 11 IEG 55 regional proposal must be rewritten for 2007 submission. The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 pm by Robert Bacon.
