Conference Update The Board discussed the affordable housing conference that had been proposed for October 2016. It was decided to hold off on the conference because of the time required to plan and advertise for it to be successful. One of the concerns discussed was not confusing the Conference with the bond. Jean Bolduc discussed that the focus should be on the Education and Affordable Housing Bond. It was suggested to have the conference after the national, state and local elections. Tammy Jacobs suggested the Board do something in October and replace the conference with education on the Bond and early voting. Tammy made a motion that if pg tannin for the conference is not as far as we would like to see it; that we turn it into an information session for the bond using the same dates October 15th or 29th. The motion was C seconded by Daniel Bullock and was unanimous by the Board. There was discussion about possibly having this event at the Whited Building. A brief conference call was conducted with Audrey Spencer-Horsley, Director, Housing, Human Rights and Community Development about the proposed change in plans. F Other Business Ms. Bolduc asked about the AHAB tour. Ms. Jones gave an update on the tour. It will start at 7:45 am at the Whitted Building with a continental breakfast and lunch will be in Chapel Hill.
