Need ideas for new programs to benefit membership. Mr. Brennan will start the draft of the survey with a goal to distribute at Advantage during roundtables. STATUS: Survey limited response – no clear direction on programs and benefits NECSI can provide membership.

Need Agenda and date for meeting with NEC. High concern is the poor communication between NEC and dealer channel. NECSI value to new leadership? Developing new product in a vacuum? Mr. Laxdal will contact Mr. Simons and Mr. Viola to coordinate the date of this meeting ASAP.
