This item was discussed after 2B.  C. Wright ascertained J. Flaherty's interest in becoming Board Vice Chair.  J. Flaherty confirmed that he would be happy to serve in that capacity.  The governance committee will recommend that he be elected to the position during the upcoming regular board meeting on August 20. Other officer positions will remain the same assuming members accept the nominations.

The committee considered the date and duration of a proposed board meeting in February, 2020.  dates were identified and the final date will be determined based on board member feedback to be collected prior to the August 20 regular board meeting.
