I am in favor of conference calls for the board meetings. We could only replace two of the board meetings as we need the Jan meeting because of the Budget/Finance. There are several things we could do in my opinion. #1 Conference calls every quarter take way to long, you really get a sore ear - my idea (not voiced yet) is to have monthly Conference calls would be shorter and not as much to address. If we do this it would save LOTS of money - it cost us about $15,000 for each board meeting, this would Eliminate that expense.
