EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR 2003

The following is a proposed meeting schedule for 2003. Although it may be difficult to plan this far ahead for some of the meetings, we need to have an idea about your availability on these dates. Please click on yes or no (see sidebar) for each of the dates.

The idea to have an April retreat was prompted by the suggestions raised at the October Executive Committee meeting that we need to clarify our long range plans. Obviously, this would be difficult to do on a conference call.  Your input about agenda items for this retreat would be appreciated. Please contact me with your ideas:

TERM LIMITS

            At the October 2002 Executive Committee meeting the discussion of term limits was postponed. The purpose of the following questionnaire is to get a sense of how much interest there is in changing our term limit policy. There are basically two points of view:

 One is we need to constantly refresh our Trustee Board and Executive Committee by having planned turnover. Our current policy specifies that Trustees may serve a maximum of six years and must be off the Board for a year before that person can be reinstated.  

The second point of view is that it is difficult to find active Board members and it is counter-productive to force someone out who is making a contribution. In addition, if there are members who are not contributing, this problem should be handled on an individual basis.
