PRESENT'S REPORT
A year in review was reported by L. Himmelberg. The Strategic Plan was handed out and reviewed.

TREASURER'S REPORT
J. Skrabal gave the Treasurer’s report. She distributed a spreadsheet identifying the disbursements of funds for the past year. Identified that a financial audit will need to be completed for the calendar year. Brought the 2008 membership forms along with the educational stipend application for individuals to complete during the education presentation.

NOMINATIONS
M. Erbin-Roesemann presented the 2007-2008 Board of Directors ballot. Nominations were accepted at this time for the Board of Directors. The decision was made to hold off on the Board of Directors vote and to present the ballot during the educational presentation which was held immediately after the annual meeting. The rationale for this decision was that a number of NeLN members were attending the educational presentation therefore having more members voting for the Board of Directors.

NEXT MEETING
The next meeting will be held on December 10, 2007 at 1000 in Lincoln at BryanLGH College of Health Sciences.

ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 0813.
