The 2007 summer Board of Directors meeting was held July 20 at the Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach.

Sally Guy announced the resignation of Peggy Federhart as Editor of the Journal and that Jeanette Cadwallender would assume the position in 2008. Laurie Starke served as interim editor.

Second Vice President Kim Nash reported interesting results of an exit survey taken at the 2007 Annual Meeting: Drop the blacktie at the awards dinner; encourage shorter committee reports; and schedule more time for shopping on Wednesday afternoon. Corresponding Secretary Mary Bruce Glaize detailed plans for upcoming new member orientations.

Following up previous board discussions, Finance Chairman Anne Baldwin moved that GCV annual dues be raised from $25 to $40, effective with the February 1 mailing. Motion carried.

Board members learned that the recently established Conservation Fund had received a $25,000 gift from a former GCV President to kick off a major fundraising effort. Following financial reports, board members requested more complete HGW financial accounting in future reports to the board and expressed interest in improving HGW marketing strategies.
