Approval of Minutes February Board Meeting Minutes February 12, 2015 Executive Board Meeting minutes were reviewed. Sharon Brause motioned to approve the minutes, seconded by Gary Barkman, all “yea” votes, no “nay votes, motion to accept minutes was approved. Budget – (See Treasurer’s report) Etiquette during Board Meetings Irma explained that several people reached out to her after the last board meeting and indicated that many people were talking at the same time. It became confusing as it was hard to know who was talking, hear what was being discussed, others chiming in during an existing conversation, etc. Irma suggested that the person wanting or needing to speak, state their name and continue on with the discussion at that time. Irma asked if board members had anything else. Gary added that some discussion gives the appearance that we are conducting committee meetings during the Board Meeting. Committee updates should be just that, updates. If committees don’t have answers or updates, table until the next meeting and move forward. Sharon also mentioned another piece that was brought up in an email, indicating that it is a board meeting and everyone else should just be listening or giving their committee reports. Bill mentioned that when Irma is calling for the question or motion, she can simply ask if there are any other comments. Once the President calls for the question/motion and no one has comments, it’s a vote by the Board and no other discussion should be taking place. III.
