CAJP Q3 2018 Board Meeting

TO BE HELD VIA WEBINAR

1) Committee and officer reports should be written and provided in advance of the meeting, without exception. There will be no “on-the-fly” oral reports. If there is no written report 10 days in advance of the meeting, it will be continued to the next board meeting.

2) We will stick to agenda items only, without forays into “interesting topics.” Agenda item is brought up; discussion on it, if necessary; and then vote. However, I would like see any concern/discussion/clarification, etc. to any agenda item happen in advance of the meeting. I would like to use the Board meeting as a way to tie the boat to the dock, not an opportunity to take a little cruise. The intent is not to stifle any discussion, but rather to have it in advance of the meeting. If you’ve got a great idea, let’s get it on the agenda and discuss it beforehand.

3) This is not a general meeting, but a Board meeting. Therefore, while contributions by the membership are always welcomed by the organization, they should be sent in advance to a Director at Large (G.R. Isidro or Greg Groeneveld) who can raise it at the meeting, or beforehand on the private Board forum. We will give non-Board members a chance to speak on any agenda item at the END of the meeting, however, this should be limited to comments on the agenda items only. Any “new business” items should be sent to your favorite Director at Large for the next meeting. I will be a hard-ass about this.

4) I am working to get the agenda published for everyone’s review as soon as possible. Those of you who want to attend the meeting will need to register and will be sent an online invitation.

– Richard Morrison, Vice President/President-Elect
