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.
