MINUTES
BOARD
Welcome Sara and Introductions
Membership (Rebecca Wallace)
IYNAUS has proposed changes to the fee structure due to increasing costs of incurred expenses; potential changes: a $10 increase for general and seniors and a $15 increase for CIYTs. Rebecca will discuss this further.
Have you looked at your member benefits section in IYNAUS? I found some terrific articles in Substack that are very worthwhile and educational. There is a section highlighting CIYT’S III. I also found Heather Haxo Phillips’s interview/article in the DEIJ section very meaningful.

TREASURER (Cecilia Huisman)
YOGA AND EQUITY (Joanne Pearson)
Joanne attended the recent DEIJ Workshop on 9/29/24 with AARON JOHNSON: Breaking Down Barriers This WS was less lecture and more interactive and soul-searching. He is digging into IYNAUS and establishing ways of doing things vs making changes. He makes the group become introspective and search within. To be continued.
