Governance

We did not have all committee members present this month.

Each committee member has been asked to think of at least one goal for this year and email it to Thomas by August 9th.

These options will then be discussed in the August Governance meeting and presented in the September board meeting for ratification.

+ Mentors to meet with new board members over the next month for coffee to get to know them, where they see themselves on the board and where they can make the most impact.

+ Phone call a few days before board meetings to review packets and answer any questions.

+ Jason helped facilitate this communication.

This is a new program, so it will be important for new board members to provide feedback on how it is going and if there are any other areas in which we can be supportive.

This was discussed in Governance. Jason checked with Chris Adams and will be able to provide further insight during the board meeting for possible solutions. Open for board discussion.

On any other occasion of the meeting of an agency or committee thereof, and so long as a quorum is present in person, a member may participate by teleconference if necessary due to reasons of health or absence from the jurisdiction so long as the other requirements of this chapter are met. Absent emergency conditions or the written opinion of a physician or other health professional that reasons of health prevent a member's physical presence, no member shall participate by teleconference pursuant to this subsection more than twice in one calendar year.
