I'm super busy this week - not much time to absorb the info - but the
proposed impact on the scope of Outreach concerns me. Holiday parties,
banquets, scholarships, and contact with student groups? Whew. I'm also
just overwhelmed period, so I'll hold back on judgement until I have
time.
I'm typically conservative, and grow activities slowly. For example,
instead of big plans for PR, we created small plans with the goal of
executing them consistently, month after month. With my one committee
member, we had success with this approach. I believe consistency is the
most important factor in Outreach and PR.

So I would like to call a vote for adding the positions I propose,
including
the directors and with the proviso that the Bylaws will be appropriately
amended. We can do this after convening the new Board, but it is would
be
beneficial to do it now and try to get people in for these roles.

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.
