• There have been changes to the Board:
• Gayle Oswald resigned as President-Elect and the position is now vacant.
• Kay Adams agreed to fill the vacancies of Membership Director and Membership Committee Chair.

• Both replacements were approved by vote with no objections.

• The Membership Committee is missing crucial demographic information from membership intake forms and is currently brainstorming ways to collect this information from members.
• The Events Committee is hosting the October Thursday with the League — see the announcement here.
• The Education Committee added a goal to its 2021–2022 list, which involves advocating for broadband to be added as a utility in the PUSD area. Many students do not have access to reliable WiFi connections for consistent internet access.
• The Healthcare Committee reported that it is currently analyzing AB 1400, the Guaranteed Health Care for All bill. Also, although the October League @ Nite healthcare event has been canceled, the Committee will be hosting an upcoming event; more information will be released at a later date.
