Executive Director's Report:
Various topics were discussed such as the “Wayne Co. Connections” television show, the growth of our social media following and a recent webinar entitled The Science of Analytics. The group entered into a discussion regarding other area websites. The group will continue to check their progress and growth.

Jane Holman updated us on her progress with the new WayNet website layout. Gary Arndst also gave each of us handouts on ads/costs for future consideration on our site. He will set a meeting date and time for the Marketing Committee to continue this discussion. Everyone agreed that we need to tread lightly if we decide to allow ads on the WayNet site.
