Board of Directors/2013-12-03

Agenda

 * 1) Board Development - Brett is offering to run 5 minute presentations at each board meeting teaching about our roles and responsibilities as Board Members. (5min)
 * 2) Budget - Every year in August the board develops a budget for the next 12 months.  We missed it this year.  We need to schedule a special meeting for this purpose. (5min)
 * 3) Membership Database - The membership database should be updated every month, but it's only being updated 3 or 4 times a year.  The result is reduced response on searches and frustrated members not receiving notices and emails.  We need to arrange for this update to happen every month. (10min)
 * 4) D4H - The Alberta Government is providing us with a tool for record keeping.  We should determine to what degree we're required to use this system, in what ways it will help us, and a develop a plan to make use of it.  Brett is willing to take the lead on this. (5min)
