BoD meeting at banquet
I see from the Bullsheet that the Board of Directors meeting has been scheduled for early morning and members will be required to request in writing to be able to attend.
Last year the Board meeting was scheduled so that members flying in would have a chance to attend, and no such request was needed. I for one found it very educational to see our Board in action, Live. Why the change for the Philly banquet? |

The schedule was set by the KCBS office. The BOD did not have a say in the time. I have asked if it could be latter, requested a change of time, and told it could not be moved. I have a personal conflict with the time. I think the BOD meeting should be a time when members could attend. And I would like to know who told you, you had to register to attend. Meetings are open to all members. You only have to register to listen by phone or to speak. Please contact the BOD if you desire a time change.
Speaking only for myself. Merl |

Nobody told me, I was going by the information printed at the top of page 6 in the October Bullsheet.
I'm not happy with the time for the meeting either - it means members who don't live in the Philly area like me would have to fly in on Thursday and incur the expense of another hotel night in order to attend. |

It may just be a scheduling conflict with the convention center. It may be this is the only time that they could get. I think the office probably takes care of the reservations which would entail scheduling conference rooms for necessary meetings.

That's true, Skip. This kinda falls into the day-to-day operations which is the responsibility of the office and not the board. As we all know, there's too much micro-managing going on with the board that needs to be avoided and re-focused on the important things. Scheduling a conference room at a hotel in Philly is NOT what I want to see the board concern themselves with.

Jeff,
I guess we just have to disagree as does the BOD. When the BOD realized the sentiment expressed on this thread, the entire board agreed we need to ask the office to change the schedule to meet the needs of the members. We saw a simple solution to the schedule and have ask the office to implement the change. No micromanagement, but an appropriate response to an issue the membership expressed. I expect that a change will be soon announced when the arrangements by the office have been concluded. Merl |

Actually it all seems like it has gone the way it should doesn't it?
The office made the reservations as we would hope. This frees up the BOD members to do those things they were elected to do. For instance, the dismay expressed by membership was brought to this board and recognized by one, or more, of the BOD who then went about trying to address the concerns of the membership and have the meeting changed to a time where more could participate. In my mind I think it went as it should. I think were are all caught in a misunderstanding. Yes it is the duty of the BOD to make itself available to the membership but it should not be them who must do the incidentals. Making reservations is why you have an office staff. It is nice, however, that the BOD recognized an issue that the office would not see.

What I find kinda strange is that there are 14 posts about this (including mine) and in all actuality, only one person "complained" (by asking why the change in time) about the time of the meeting.
