Chairperson’s Report
Cynthia shared with the group that she, along with Carrie Ottum, Program Coordinator and Kathy Snell
attended a board training session. We came away with some good ideas. One idea is to change our
agenda into more of a “consent agenda”. This would mean that there would be more discussion items and
our consent items (or items to be approved) would be towards the end of our meeting. Sue stated she
may have an example of a “Consent Agenda” and will send that to Cynthia. Also we would include any
committee reports along with the general meeting minutes prior to the meeting. It will be the responsibility
of the board members to review the minutes prior to the board meeting in order to move along with the
approval of minutes. We also had an opportunity after the session to apply for a FREE 3 hour
consultation for board growth. We would be able to pick a topic and have a professional facilitator assist
us. Cynthia stated we have completed the application with our topic of choice being “Strategic Board
Planning”. The application will go in on Wednesday and we hope that we are chosen. If not we will still
look to make this a priority in 2015.
