Hi,

Starting this thread so we can prepare for the upcoming meeting.
Things that are needed:

  1. Meeting Agenda
  2. Minutes from the last meeting
  3. Who is going to run the meeting? (since Tony will not be present)

The chair sets the agenda. In his absence, old business would be tax status, related filings, election of the Executive Director & MU2; while new business would be financial report. The Bylaws stipulate a report of “financial health” by the Treasurer at each board meeting among other duties.

It appears the March 12th minutes have yet to materialize despite promises. If they don’t, there will be no vote to accept the minutes.

The chain of command implied by the Bylaws is Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer. If Art attends, he would preside; because there is no Vice Chair. If he does not, the job goes to Stephen.

Committee Reports

Bylaws/Charter

@Stephen - Looking to update addresses. Deferred until Greg gets back. 

MU3

@FSGL - Can't ask for grants or begin the process until 990's are back up to date (Revocation). @Art agrees 
@Brady - Trying to break into chunks 
@Lou - Unless we're talking about big donors, never thought about whether it's tax deductible 

Marketing

@Lou and @Tony are members, no specific report as of yet 
@Lou - Looking at IndieGoGo 
Crowd funding is difficult in this project because if you're already involved in the project you're unlikely to contribute 
Improving awareness 
@ZH - How do we capitalize on the support (not necessarily financial) we already have? 

New Business:
Personnel Committee

Motion from this committee 
Schedule meeting with Stephen W for nominating/hiring an Executive Director 

Stephen Waite For Treasurer:

Need as a treasurer is real 
Concerned about throwing too much on Greg 
Section 6, 14, (b?) = responsiblities

Didn’t we vote Stephen in as Treasurer during the meeting?

Roberto Vasquez was also in attendance.

There are also a couple names listed that were not in attendance:
Bryan Lee
Meg Comins
Sam Likins

aethelwulffe wrote on Saturday, April 09, 2016:

Yes. The issue was that Treasurer in name vs. people getting the treasurer the documentation and statuses he needs to do the job are a different matter. Greg was on Reserve training for two weeks, and we had to wait on him to get some things like this resolved…for which as far as I know hasn’t had a status update.
As to the other names, they were in attendance. I could see them, I was present, and they could hear and discuss. They just didn’t jam up the line by calling in individually.

fsgl wrote on Saturday, April 09, 2016:

Addenda:

  1. Discussion of written vs. audio recording of minutes. Tony thought that attendees may be inhibited by recordings while Lou preferred the synopsis format of written minutes. I said that recordings would relieve burden on Art. Another attendee volunteered to help shoulder the burden. Brady suggested that we can have both. Sam (Shameem) offered his Go-to-Meetings account for future meetings so that recordings will be possible. There was no objection to a dual track.
  2. Sam will be donating additional codes toward MU2 certification.
  3. After the election of Stephen as Treasurer, he was asked to bring forth a name for election of Executive Director. Stephen asked that this nomination be tabled for next meeting.
  4. Roberto Vasquez attended 3/12/16 meeting.

Art,

I’ll pm you when I get home. On the road presently.


For non-board attendees:

Note the change in venue & other details here.

If you are attending via computer, sight/sound check beforehand would be good.
