A. Sheila Janda reported on the NCRA meeting in New Orleans in April and commented
that the ICRA basket was well received, especially the Vera Bradley bag that was used to
hold the Iowa-made products. Tania Viet stated that some of the proceeds from
purchasing the bag were donated for breast cancer research.

Bobbi Matt reported on the NAACCR Conference in June, 2009. There was a good deal
of sometimes tense discussion regarding 2010 changes pending and their impact on
central and hospital registries. Some travel problems were encountered, but overall it was
a good experience. Theola Rarick reported that she attended a breakfast meeting
regarding Registry directions in the future, including electronic patient records, with
input from registries on data items needed.

B Sheila Janda thanked the membership for their individual contributions to the breast
cancer walk that she participated in recently.

%',& %':

A. New CTRs were acknowledged and congratulated. They are: Rhonada Weber and
Jennifer Jamison.

B. There was discussion about the possibility of raising ICRA annual dues. The ICRA
board will meet and decide the issue at a later date, but would like input on the issue from
the membership. Suggestions were made to check into fees from other state
organizations, and also suggested that we need to consider the size of the organization¶s
membership. There was a suggestion that rather than raise dues, we may want to consider
fundraising activities, including compiling a cookbook, or possibly raffles.

C. ICRA 2010 Spring meeting: Judy Sebern-Beachy stated that the State Health
Registry of Iowa plans to provide Collaborative Staging training sessions in the spring for
hospital registries and for field staff, so they will not be hosting another meeting. Sheila
Janda stated that hospitals are welcome to volunteer to host a spring meeting.

D. Nominating Committee: Sheila Janda asked for volunteers for the Nominating
Committee. Lisa Hunter & Peggy Carroll volunteered to serve.

Meeting was adjourned at 12:35 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Julie Risinger, CTR
