Event Update
We have promotional materials for the event.
A reminder to board members that meetings are scheduled to end at 4 but we reserve time until 4:15 for flex or overflow time.
In order to make sure we do not run out of time for the important board study sessions we do every other month, those sessions will now be moved to the beginning of the meeting. In order so that the Board President can best support committees during meetings, board study session agenda's should be submitted ahead of time to the agenda planning committee.
