4. Review of By-laws, Minutes, and Rosters:
• The membership roster was discussed. In order to accommodate the business partners that serve on the committee, a suggestion was made to have Ms. Tameika Scott-Smith serve as the UTD representative in next year’s EESAC. The meeting times may need to be adjusted next year and the current representative may not be able to attend.
