   1. Kelly has been emailing with Jamie Martin about speaking at the Business Meeting. She’s involved with the chair of the Business Archives Section. Wants to get their section involved with ours by setting up a Twitter chat. Kelly can get her in touch with Elena to set it up.

6. 2017-2018 SC election

   1. Process should begin in early May. It will probably operate similar to the special election process. Kelly wanted to put it out there that it will happen soon so if you know of people who want to participate, spread the word!

7. Upcoming Twitter chats

   1. No April chats due to busy schedules.
