The Unit 178 Board of Directors meeting was called to order on November 3, 2022 at 4pm.
Present: David Trevor, Cass Weil, Steve Gaynor, Vicky Smith, Deana Liddy, John Schlundt, Sue Sanger, Tom Botten
Deana reported that ACBL has selected Minneapolis as the location of the summer 2026 NABC. Exact dates and site are not yet determined. Steve will meet in December with reps from the Unit 103 Board; discussion will include how we will work together to provide volunteer and other assistance for this event. John and Cass will also attend.
Tony’s Saturday game will return to Studio One beginning in January. He will also hold a sectional tournament May 5-7, likely at Edina. There was discussion but no decision whether to hold an Aquatennial sectional next summer. We need to find a tournament chair, the board will seek volunteers.

We discussed the need for a stronger pipeline of new directors. One obstacle appears to be that some who may be willing to direct are not willing to handle all the set=up and other required computer tasks. However, there may be others who would be willing to handle the computer tasks but prefer to play rather than direct games. We will try to identify players who might be willing to fulfill these roles, and provide appropriate training.
We discussed what action, if any, the Unit should take when a player dies. Consensus seems to be to take no action except if the player has been a director, tournament chair or other active leader in the bridge community. Sue will draft a policy statement prior to the next Board meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Sue Sanger
