President Monthei informed members of the Budget Committee meeting which will be happening soon. Dean Rogers has requested that we grill burgers during their open house on Saturday, Sept. 5th.

Denny Hammen had the program today. He introduced his daughter Michaela Carlson from Story City. Michaela is a Development Feasibility Manager for Quintiles Clinical Research. Quintiles employs around 32,000 people in 100 countries and 1/2 the workforce works from home. Michaela shared information via a powerpoint presentation concerning the approval process of new medicine and some of the jobs she has held in this area. Michaela has degrees from UNI and Iowa State. Thanks to Denny and Michaela for a very interesting program!
