 ===Marie's resignation===
-Marie Deatherage has resigned from the board after serving on the FG board for 4+ years. The remaining board members and the staff are working on figuring out how to address issues that led to her resignation. This leaves an empty seat on the board, the chair position needs to be refilled, and the Relationships committee is down one member.

+Currently no financial report; the holiday party and Marie's resignation were both elements in delaying it. The budget will be prepared before the board meeting in January.
 ==Priorities==
-We looked at the lists on the [[General Priorities]] page to update them; worked through the items on the Infinite resources list (all things we would want to do). We removed the items that we're already doing to a separate section of the list. It's now thinned and can serve as a starting point for figuring out what our current priorities are; what is missing? Anyway, these are the items that remain. Most of them already have some work begun on them.
