Board Fundraising Requirements

Fundraising requirements for the Board. Feedback from Governance Comm. perspective. 

Current RDC proposal: $5K give/get with $2500 being min. give per person. 
Oliver - don't want to limit board members by this requirement. Have this be the requirement for board members, but on occasion we could waive requirement on request by a potential board member on a case by case basis, depending on who is joining (community members...etc). 
Malka asked why the "community member" ... why the "waiver"? Who makes the decision case by case, based on what, etc?
Oliver - Governance comm. maybe making decision or having whole Board vote on it. 

Negotiable case by case, but goals to bring in money needs to be considered as well. 

Everyone decided that everyone should have the same goal. If there is pushback from the Board, they can explore other possibilities. 

Board Meeting will vote on $5K give/get with $2500 being min. give per person.

Claudia suggested at Board Meeting time is when Kevin will provide dashboard on Board commitments etc. 

Oly would like to know when Governance wants Board member dashboard info provided to them. Board discussed what info would be given and when. This helps Board be aware of who has met their goal and who has not. Jesse asked if that document would would be public under the Brown Act. Malka said yes. Oliver stated that amounts would not be listed. 
There was a suggestion of waiting for the vote and then rolling out at the end of the year depending on how it goes. - Everyone agreed. 

Governance Comm: (holds board members, accountable, sets expectations,sets up PD for Board, give/get goals)
