Summary of October 2015 Board Meeting

               Greetings from the JRCERT:

               We hope that you and your families are enjoying the fall season.  The crisp weather and spectacular fall
               colors are making this a memorable time for us here in the Chicago area.  The JRCERT recently held its
               Fall Board of Directors meeting.  The meeting was very busy and we would like to take the opportunity to
               highlight some of the key elements of the meeting.

               From January 1, 2015 to date, the Board has taken action on approximately 232 programs; following is a
               breakdown:
