What's happening with Carlos …
The last time we talked, I was considering
joining the Planning Committee. Well, I decided to go for it, and it's
been a good training ground for me. Getting involved in a committee has
really opened my eyes to the "bigger picture". I now have a
basic sense of how the board and committees work, as well as the issues
the organization is facing and where it is headed. I feel a lot more confident
to take the next step and join the board.
There are just a few more things I was wondering about regarding
board practices. So I don't look like a real greenhorn at my first board
meetings, could you tell me whether my assumptions about board operations
are accurate?
| All board members
should have job descriptions. |
|
| As a board member,
I am expected to sit on every committee. |
|
| According to
common parliamentary procedures, the President must propose a motion.
|
|
| My organization's
bylaws should explain how I would be elected to the board and how
long my term would be. |
|
| Committees make
the final decision on issues they have researched and debated.
|
|
| It is the Executive
Director's role to set the board meeting agenda. |

Now, check on
Debra and see how she's doing.
