<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>For the record, I am registering an abstention on this vote.</div><div><br></div><div>The contract is overall is of the same scale to previous conferences, and I want to acknowledge the work of the selection committee. I do wish a lower hotel rate for attendees had been attained.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I do have significant procedural concerns, however. While the conference is one of the marquee things we do, it is also the largest annual expenditure of project funds and source of financial risk, and likely will remain so for the foreseeable future. The contract was formally presented to the board only three days prior to a "must-sign" deadline; this tight of a timeframe limited our ability to provide proper oversight short of making a drastic decision to reject the contract entirely. I think it is imperative that we put procedures in place to avoid this situation in the future.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Galen<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 30, 2020 at 7:32 AM Goben, Anna <<a href="mailto:AGoben@library.in.gov" target="_blank">AGoben@library.in.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
