[NOTE: The following action occurred via facsimile February 19, 2004.]

Acting for the Division III Management Council and Presidents Council, the Administrative Committee approved the waiver of NCAA Bylaw 21.8.1.2 (one member per playing conference) to permit Dan Preston, director of financial aid, Linfield College (Northwest Conference), and Paul Boyer, director of financial aid, Williams College (New England Small College Athletic Conference), to serve on the NCAA Division III Financial Aid and Awards Committee. When the Nominating Committee recommended Mr. Preston and Mr. Boyer, it was unaware that both conferences were already represented on the committee. Mr. Preston and Mr. Boyer were the only financial aid administrators in the nominee pool at the time of consideration.
