On a motion made by Mr. Szakos and seconded by Mr. Stern, the February 12, 2007 minutes were unanimously approved as corrected.
VI. Executive Director’s Report
Mr. Brown indicated that Region Ten successfully received CARF Accreditation for three years. He stated that there were so many people to thank for the accreditation, including board members.

Mr. Brown provided handouts with the board packet mailing for review of the Annual Plan. He discussed all updates and ongoing work with the plan as of the end of February.
Ms. Becker indicated the Benefit Proposal and provided handouts with gathered information for Region Ten holidays and leave currently, and what other localities or organizations are using, as well as the proposal for Region Ten in the future. Board Members asked for financial information in relation to these changes, and will discuss this proposal further during the Executive Committee Meeting later in the month.
