Member attendance at Board Meetings is welcomed. If there are special interests or concerns to be discussed, all members will be given an aggregate time of 15 minutes at the beginning of the meeting to do so. These interests and concerns will be directed to an appropriate Committee for its consideration and resolution. The Board will try to respond to any member questions during the course of the Board Meeting. Otherwise, the Board will respond to member’s questions within a reasonable period of time thereafter. The Board wants to be efficient and provide the best possible service to its members. In consideration of everyone’s time, the Board will strive to complete each Board Meeting within a reasonable period of time. [Ref: bylaw Article 7, section 6a]
