Mel made a motion to allow the general membership to vote on
the moving of the general membership meeting location from the McKimmon Center to Marbles Kids
Museum. Liz Gutierez seconded the motion. Discussion followed pertaining
to what this motion actually means (to bring the issue to the general membership
for their feedback and vote). Discussion - Mel had sent out to the board prior
to this board meeting reasons why we looked into moving the GMM location. Paul
noted that we should allow the general membership the opportunity to see what it
is like to have a meeting at Marbles. Mel said we would by meeting there for
elections in our first GMM of October. Discussion concluded and the motion was
passed to bring the vote to the general membership with a resolution (to be made
and approve by the board at the October board meeting) to show support of the
board for the change of meeting location.
Discussion regarding Chapter
communications began with the passing of the gavel from President Carter
Pettibone to COB Paul Hoover. Carter asked for permission from Paul to begin the
discussion and Paul granted the request. The structure for contributing to this
discussion was laid out and the conversation began with an overview of the issue
presented by Carter. The three categories of communications to be discussed
were: Board to Board, Board to members and project chairs, and project chairs to
members. Jennifer James indicated that simply acknowledging the receipt of an
email can sometimes keep the confusion and frustration to a minimum, as it is
professional to do so especially when communicating directly to our members
since we serve them. Melissa Taylor commented on board to board communication
through email can be impersonal and it is essential to be professional and keep
personal passions in check. Mel also mentioned the issue that our GMMs tend to be a reiteration of communication that can be
found on our website, so what is the in-person meeting
really offering members and guests? Liz Gutierez then
asked for the real purpose of our GMMs; do we need
them and if so what should they look like? Mona Shah concurred with these
sentiments. Linnell suggested that we depend to
heavily on email and should consider at times to simply pick up the phone and talk to someone directly as it would
cut down on the confusion created by too many emails. Michael McKnight offered
that sometimes the only reliable way to reach him and get his assistance in a
timely fashion would be to call him. Deidre Albert mentioned that we should
consider that if a number of emails have gone back and forth and that the
conversation comes to an impass that the person in
charge of the certain area is an elected representative of the chapter and
should be entrusted to make the final decision on a matter (i.e. stop the
insanity of 80 emails back and forth over one topic when it is obvious that
people’s personal biases and passions are heavily playing in the mix). Mel
commented that should would fight tooth and nail for
something, but as soon as the board decides which way to go on an issue, her
personal opinion goes out the window and her support goes to the decision made
by the board. There is always going to be projects “you” don’t like and project
chairs “you” don’t like. Carter noted that the CPG comments deadline should be
honored out of respect for the project chair so they have time to get the final
changes made to a CPG and resubmitted in time for the board
meeting.
At the conclusion of the discussion Paul returned the gavel
to Carter.
