[CQ-Contest] Meet with the BoD

[Tom Frenaye]

I think the number is still around minus $600k.   Instead of cutting Section News this year, there will be other cuts in QST.   Even though we've postponed action on moving detailed contest scores, those changes were not even proposed to start until 2003, so no impact this year.

Mary Hobart is the new development person and is actively working on ways to reduce it but no promises.    Long term we've decided to invest (lose money for a couple of years) in the new development office because revenue from our traditional sources of income are declining or not increasing (publications sales, memberships and advertising).
