Your comments for February KCBS meeting.

Boys we can chase rabbits or we can start something proactive

Maybe I am unrealistic but working inside the system
even if that means helping to create a committee system
would seem the best use of our energy

I agree Thom. Every board that I have been on, and there have been several, the committees where where most of the work was done. (By the way, I love the "chasing rabbits" thingie

The difficult part is if the BoD Member is the Committee Chair and he or she
is lazy and has no intention of working much it will be hard to make it work

That'd be like having No Report at the Board meeting. Surely that hasn't happened

You're making a mountain out of a molehill. No report is not bad. Some committees may only need an annual report. The BOD usually gets the big CBJ, judging and rules problems without the committee ever getting involved.

Rules & Regulations committee gathers info during the year, has a meeting in Janaury and then makes a recommendation for the BOD in FEB. That's one report per year - a no brainer there.

Education - report as needed. Same for Philanthropy. May only be one or two per year.

Nominating and elections maybe 2 per year when needed for election cycle.

Membership, new ideas, technology, R&D, sanctioning, CBJ & Judging - only when a report is needed. If nothing is changing why have a report to say that.

Monthly - finance and marketing. I think the membership should hear these.

For all but a couple above I think more of the committee stuff becomes business items for the BOD before the committee gets to it so there's nothing to reprot to the BOD if they grab the reins.
