He noted impairment is a system failure, a human failure or a combination of both. In 99% of all instances, there are defined procedures to act upon a system failure however it is sometimes the human that does not follow the procedure. He recognized training and reinforcement is needed for the staff. In most cases, there is a systematic approach to restoring the service, communicating the failure, and then investigating the failure via an incident report in order to learn and prevent same failure again. He thanked the membership for their patience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Member Tim Eby discussed the challenge of national producers initiating fundraising appeals that conflict with standard pledge drive seasons for member stations.

Michigan?) noted that many stations no longer follow a traditional fall\/spring pledge drive schedule so why not just ask national producers to refrain from solicitations.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Action:<\/strong>\u00a0 Membership agreed that PRIMA board of directors would develop a formal response and submit to all national program producers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Membership requested a second evening devoted to the PRIMA Hospitality Suite.
