Board meeting report

At the January 31 meeting, the Sustainability Task Force submitted a revised charter for the board’s approval. The new charter includes plans to work with the Development and Linkage Task Forces to provide educational opportunities on sustainability for the board and membership.

The Board Development Task Force received approval for the agenda for the board’s February retreat.

The Staff Relations Task Force updated the board on its research into firms that might conduct a staff opinion survey.

The Linkage Task Force received approval for a program idea for the May 2, 2006 annual meeting agenda. The educational component will address nutritional concerns with a focus on kids.

Management updated the board on construction of our new store in Redmond, talked about next steps in Seward Park now that the Seattle City Council has approved a zoning change to permit a larger store there, and reported on compliance with board policies.
