Executive Board Meeting
                            April 17, 2004
                      Balboa's in Platteville, WI

 Present:  Matchett, Snavely, Scott, Ganapathy, Muhs, Poss, Thomas, 
           Trautwein

 Prelude:  Mark noted that his one duty (so far) as past chair is to drum 
 up nominations for the distinguished teaching award.  Greisbach's group 
 was superb!  Apparently Carl Cowen was so impressed that he is going to 
 try to hire them to perform at Mathfest.  Andy said that preliminary 
 attendance figures are in the 147 to 155 range.  This is unusually high 
 for a meeting in the less populous part of the state.  

 Newsletter:  booklet format is not needed now that the newsletter will 
 be primarily online, with hard copies mailed only to those who request 
 them.
 
 Honoraria go to Gehring, Rudin, and Greisbach is to receive $100 toward 
 travel expenses of his troupe.
 
 Evaluation of meeting.  It was a fun and wonderful meeting.  We learned 
 one thing though.  When the microphone becomes non-functional, tell 
 the audience to move to the front.   Otherwise the meeting was 
 essentially glich free.

 The representative for Mathfest (to receive support from the MAA) will be 
 either Jayanthi Ganapathy or David Scott.
