My 3rd position paper is about communication between the
Board of Directors and Association members. I believe we must completely change
the way our Board of Directors meetings are held.
First, if the agenda for a board meeting is broadcast to
members 2 weeks in advance for review, we can do away with the agenda review
meeting. Second, association members should not have to choose between going to
club activities or a board meeting. Association members that work should also
be able to attend meetings without taking off from their job. This means that
all Board of Directors meetings should be held at NIGHT! I am sure we can
determine what night of the week has the fewest club activities.
At the Board of Directors meeting, Association members
should be allotted time to ask questions and receive answers regarding
association issues. If a member is given 2 minutes to speak, I believe board
members be given the same time limit. A board member can get an additional 2
minutes if another director yields their time to the director. It is my opinion
that this would result in a positive change to the relationship between the
Board Of Directors and members. The attitude of not answering member questions
at board meetings must end.
If you have any thoughts or questions regarding my position
on this issue please contact me at
