Wells Fargo, Nelnet, and Citibank have not paid their money and have been contacted and notified that their information will not be posted on the VASFAA website unitl payment is made. The total amount of money collected so far is $78,500. All updates received will be given to Daniel Hewitt to submit to ATAC to bring the vendor/sponsor webpage up to date. Corrections and information has been very difficult to obtain this year with many of the contacts changing jobs and not leaving forwarding information. I will be attending the SASFAA conference at plan on talking with selected vendors to see if they may be interested in vending at VASFAA in order to increase our intake. Due to the size restrictions on our vending space I plan to talk to vendors such as ELM and others that have vended with us in the past and have not committed so far this year. I feel that our income will go up a bit with the addition of possibly 3 to 4 vendors. An email will go out to all vendors in the next week or two reminding them of the upcoming conference and an I plan to include shipping information and an electrical request form. NEXT MEETING: I plan to get with Vera in the next few weeks to go over all vendor sponsor related information as far a set up and take down for the conference MEETING ADJOURNED: SUBMITTED BY: POSTED BY: Elizabeth M Daniel
