Executive Board Meeting, April 11:
During the Council for Exceptional Children
(CEC) annual convention, the Division on Visual
Impairments (DVI) held three meetings. An
executive board meeting was held on April 11. After
approval of the Fall 2011 executive board meeting
minutes, the discussion moved on to division officer
reports. During the president���s report, CEC���s low
membership was brought up. Retention is a large
concern, but there is also a strong push to increase
membership. In the meeting, one of the main topics
of discussion was the 2013 budget. Although a few
things were adjusted for the new budget, generally
it stayed the same. One addition to the budget was
$500 to be used by board members for travel
expenses to CEC events. The proposed budget total
was $8385. After the division officer reports, various
topics were discussed during the committee reports.
The meeting concluded and was followed by a work

vision, and strategic planning goals.
