The new positions are good ideas.  

Adding positions requires board approval. It would be good to have a 
position description suitable for inclusion the P&P manual as part of 
the proposal. 

Adding a director probably requires a bylaws amendment. (Currently the 
bylaws say we have 3 directors, so they need to be updated.)

I checked the bylaws for committee mgr appointment procedures and will 
amend the notice.
