Board meeting report
The November 30 board meeting agenda included review and approval of the 2011 operating budget and business plan. The board development committee led discussion of plans for a February retreat. The finance and CEO evaluation committees also reported.
The member relations committee reviewed the fall member meeting. Members’ meeting evaluations showed that they found the program on fair trade informative and entertaining. The committee proposed April 26 as the date of the 2011 annual meeting, and approved “The Future of Organics” as the meeting topic. The board approved both.
April 26 through May 19 were approved as the dates for the board election. The 2011 ballot count meeting was set for May 23.
