From the Paper:

"In a recent report and proposal to the Board of Directors and Management Committee, the Director of Marketing presented the blueprint for the development of the Fitness Center Information Systems. The proposed system will be used by both members and fitness consultants to track participation in various fitness activities, such as free weights, volleyball, swimming, stair climbers, and yoga and aerobic classes. The BOD and ManCom unanimously voted for the funding, development, implementation and maintenance of the FCIS. A Board Resolution was drafted, approved and released regarding this matter and included in the Board Resolution is the assignment and designation of the Director of Marketing as the Project Director for the Fitness Center Information Systems Project (FCISP). She has been also directed to hire a project team necessary to complete the system in six months time."
