1. Briefly reviewed prior meeting and approved (specifically requests for specific donations to specific hospitals/services).

2. Discussed importance of Board Member commitment and resolved to

1. meet in person every 2-3 mos

2. change 50% of the Board every 3yrs

3. review Board membership and change status if needed for missing Board meetings (eg 3 consecutive meetings)

1. Reviewed the importance of encouraging younger physicians and trainess to join both the organisation and the Board

2. Reviewed frequency and number going to missions. Affirmed going for specific durations and services for specific hospitals more frequently rather than for longer with more members less frequently.

3. Reviewed plans for upcoming mission trips to Egypt in Sept and Nov.

4. Discussed in the future being open to other locations such as Namibia through the Coptic Church's service there. For now, will reevaluate for a commitment later in time (eg 2024 or 2025).

5. Reviewed the financial status of the organisation and donations from members. Agreed reasonably on track for this year, but important to encourage donations.
