   b) update on member invoices paid to date

4. Executive Director Report (Garth)
   a) Proposed budget for FY23 and projection through FY24
      - expecting maybe $10k in conference applications, we have already have
        two approved conferences for FY23, GRC ($4k) and Shape Coexistence
       ($1.5k)
      - propose that student travel awards increase from $650 to $750, due to
        inflation costs
      - URS and GF are discussed separately, below
      - other projected costs are similar to this year

   b) Undergraduate Research Scholarships URS (FY23 expense)
      - last year we had 6x$5k=$30k scholarships, and $3.9k in travel
        supplements
      - propose 6x$5.5k=$33k scholarships, as the $5k award has not increased
        since 2020
      - to this add possibly another $3.9k for travel supplements, depending on
        what people apply for
      - propose an application deadline of Monday, Feb 27
      - need a motion to approve
      - need 1 member for selection committee

   c) Graduate Fellowship GF (FY23 expense)
     - last year we had two $12k fellowships, each to be supplemented by the
       home institution to a value of not less than $32k
     - another strong response (10 applications), could have justified
       giving at least 5 awards
     - given our strong budgetary position, propose two fellowships at $12.5k
       each (each to be supplemented to $33k total)
     - also note that the 2021 and 2022 recipients are allowed to re-apply up
       to one more time.  Renewal of the fellowship, however, is not automatic.
     - propose a deadline of Monday, March 27
     - need a motion to approve
     - need 1 member for selection committee
