teachers focusing on Earth Sciences. Workshop meeting is in June. Jim Miller coordinated workshop and is retiring from the role. Distribution of kits occurs through Mike Hultgren. - Section Proposal of AIPG MN to use $250.00 towards the Happy Hour after the meeting; this was amended to only include food and no alcohol the amended motion was passed. - The AIPG MN and SME joint conference was discussed earlier in the meeting - Professional Certification Sponsorship Grant used for potential HAZWOPER or MSHA training for university students to be more marketable out of school. An idea was having companies donate money to allow a student to attend or bring that price down for all students; also organizing a larger class to have the cost go down. There were feelings that this could drive the expectations from companies that students should pay for this out of pocket and not the hiring companies. This discussion was tabled and will commence in 2016. Explore cost of hiring a HAZWOPER trainer and price out per student. - Survey Results Reviewed, and should be used in 2016 to help spend funds and allocate time of volunteers. - Suggested Committee/Chair Appointments: - Webmaster – Matt Heglund - Assistant Webmaster – Peter Putzier - Education Chair – Ryan Mathieu - Fundraiser Chair – Curt Hudak - Student Chapter Development Committee – Sara Nelson, Cathy Stott, Marcella Hartman - Student Grant Committee – Bruce Johnson, Keith Rapp and Jake Dalbec - Professional Certification Scholarship Committee – Nathan Gruman & Shanna Schmitt - 2016 MN Section of AIPG Spring Social Chair – Paula Berger - 2016 AIPG MN Golf Tournament Committee –Curt Hudak, Bruce Johnson, Jake Dalbec, Sara Nelson, Hong Spores, Shanna Schmitt, Jane Willard and Jeri Massengill - AIPG MN/SME Joint Conference – Jake Dalbec, Shanna Schmitt, Adam Krieger, Marcella Hartman, Jeri Massengill, Curt Hudak and Paul Putzier - AIPG MN Happy Hour Committee – Marcella Hartman, Shanna Schmitt, Maybe a St. Thomas Student? - Topics tabled Officer, Chair and ExComm Director Position Descriptions Completed Date, Bylaws Restructure Committee Progress and U of M Student Chapter Development Update.

Date: December 6, 2016

Position: Vice President

2016 Accomplishments/Activities/Duties: Coordinated and contacted 9 speakers for monthly luncheon meetings. Assisted in Golf Fundraiser Assisted in venue selection for Spring Social Attended quarterly meetings Summary of Significant Expenses/Income The AIPG luncheons were well attended this year. I believe we made money each month. Problems/Issues: Some issues with late sign ups and email notices going out for luncheons. Some issues with the special vegan/vegetarian meals- timeliness by event staff and unsuitable meals (Kelton) Suggestions for Improvement: I suggest changing the day of the luncheon in the months of January and September since New Year’s Day and Labor Day typically fall close to these “extended vacation” holidays and would influence attendance.

Subsection 2016 Annual Conference: a partnership between SME Twin Cities and the MN Section of AIPG. The conference was titled Mining and Industrial Site Life Cycles.

· Continued editing/updating the MN Section of AIPG Bylaws (work in progress and not yet finished-behind schedule).

· No significant expenses were accrued. · In addition to the success of the MN Section of AIPG Golf Tournament, almost $3,000 was raised for

the MN Section of AIPG through the Mining and Industrial Site Life Cycles conference. Problems/Issues:

· The MN Section of AIPG Bylaws restructuring endeavor continues to be a work in progress and is not yet finished. Progress is behind the suggested schedule proposed last winter (i.e. intended to have the MN Section of AIPG review and vote to distribute the updated Bylaws in Dec. 2016 to entire MN Section membership for vote in 2017. May have to post pone this next step until the first Executive Committee meeting of 2017.

Suggestions for Improvement:

2016 Accomplishments/Activities/Duties: Attended AIPG Annual meeting as MN delegate Assisted in organizing four student social hours. Assisted in organizing SME/AIPG joint conference Attended informational meeting for new Geology course offered at U of M Assisted with Golf fundraiser Summary of Significant Expenses/Income AIPG Annual Conference Problems/Issues: No problems encountered. Suggestions for Improvement: Continue working on creating U of M student chapter. Since Josh Feinberg has taken an active interest in helping students develop skills and knowledge base relevant to industry, we may finally have the support we need to get this chapter rolling. We may be able to find students willing to take the lead if we sell the idea as a better resume builder—they can state that they ‘created’ a student chapter, instead of just participating as a member or officer. Offer some sort of donation to the new geology class to help cover fees associated with PG exam and HAZWOPER training. This will help establish our presence at the U of M, and help the students understand AIPG efforts—why we exist, all the good we accomplish. DRAFT

Position: Sponsorship Committee Chair

2016 Accomplishments/Activities/Duties: · Implemented new sponsorship program with annual sponsorships rather than individual meeting

sponsors, and eliminated meeting sponsor “commercials”. · Solicited 8 corporate sponsors for the September 2015 – June 2016 meeting calendar. · Modified annual sponsorships to run for a calendar year (i.e. January to December) for 2017. Based on

feedback from 2015-2016, the option to give a short corporate presentation “commercial” at the beginning of one meeting (per sponsor) will be returned for 2017.

· Solicited 6 corporate sponsors and one individual (anonymous) sponsor for 2017 to date. Sponsorship solicitation for 2017 is still in progress.

Summary of Significant Expenses/Income

· No expenses. · Income of $250/sponsor.

Problems/Issues:

· The number of sponsorships did not increase as much as expected. By eliminating the individual meeting sponsorship, we could increase the total number, but it remained the same as before the sponsorship structure was revised.

Suggestions for Improvement:

· Increase sponsor solicitation during the first 2 months of 2017. · Direct mail solicitations of possible vendors rather than blanket emails to mailing list. DRAFT

Name: Curtis Hudak Date: December 6, 2016

Position: Executive Committee Director – Golf Fundraising Committee Chair

2016 Accomplishments/Activities/Duties: Our primary fundraiser of the year is the Golf Fundraiser, which was held for the second year in a row at the Prestwick Golf Course in Woodbury, MN. The most significant change over the past two years has been the increase in number of volunteer helpers, several of which did not golf, but instead set up the auction tables; and, also helped in planning and securing donations. We registered 44 golfers (one no-show) from 11 companies (compared to 43 registered and one no-show in 2015). The total number of companies was closer to 18 or 19 if you include the guests brought by our paying participants, and closer to 22 or 23 companies if we also include the 4 sponsorship only companies. Bringing guests helps to spread the word on our tournament, and emphasizes the importance of playing at some of our more attractive local golf courses (of which we have many). We had 17 individual and corporate donors of material goods and/or in-kind time and expenses. We also attracted 5 individual diners. All in all, I believe that this last golf outing was the most well attended for combined golfers and volunteer help. This was noticed widely by the committee chair because he still had both energy and a sense of humor at the end of the day. ;-) Committee members, whether they knew it or not, included Bruce Johnson, Jake Dalbec, Shanna Schmitt, Hong Spores, Paula Berger, Marcella Hartman, and others off and on. Forgive me if I left your name off. We have already scheduled our next outing back at Prestwick Golf Course, and it will be on Tuesday August 1, 2017 with a 9:30AM shotgun. We reserved 48 tee times at $57 per golfer for green fees, cart, and range balls. Summary of Significant Expenses/Income This year’s event had income of $8,198.00 and expenses of $5,181.70 for a net income of $3,016.30*. Compare that to income of $7,890.00 and expenses of $3,959.31 for a net income of $3,930.69 in 2015. We only recorded 33 Eagle Cards this year compared to 43 last year, for a net reduction year over year of $200. We need to push those cards better next year. Problems/Issues and Suggested Improvements: The most noticeable issues are that we did not have many/any live auction items. These live auction items typically bring in $200 or more per item. Three live auction items would have brought in the difference in net profits between last year and this year. We have several companies that paid very late. I know that some companies need to go through a rigorous sponsorship and permission checklist, but we should be urging these companies to start their payment process well in advance of the event. AIPG-MN Section should not act a bank. Lastly, we have lost money or barely broke even on the purchased auction items (i.e., items that require reimbursement to the purchaser), such as rocks/minerals and baseballs. I suggest that the purchased amount be set as the minimum bids going forward. Donated items may continue to be set at lower opening bid prices. Suggestions for Improvement: See above under Problems/Issues and Suggested Improvements.
