President's Report
SPI Vice President, Stephen Frost, met with our new IT contractor at FOSDEM earlier this month. We are finalizing the contract details and hope to have him onboarded soon. SPI's Merrill Lynch account opening has taken longer than expected due to some additional paperwork needs. The wire transfer for the opening balance was processed last week. Due to the higher rate of return offered temporarily by Key Bank, our Merrill account is starting out with a smaller amount than originally planned. We can transfer additional funds once Key's promotional rate expires later this year.
Treasurer's report
The SPI treasury team is continuing to process requests and is striving for more timely ticket handling. The backlog is much lower than it has been in the recent past.
Secretary's report
I have completed and am up to date with all the minutes including the face to face. Still to do is following up on the action items generated at the f2f meeting. Hopefully that should not take long and I'll be contacting people individually to sort that out.
