DATE TIME LOCATION

Our mission: ________________________________________________

I. Welcome and Call to Order

By welcoming board members, the board chair sets a respectful tone for the meeting. This is a good time to make opening announcements, remind everyone about silencing cell phones, the location of restrooms, etc.

This is also the time to approve meeting minutes from the previous meeting.

II. Consent Agenda

List items requiring formal approval with limited or no discussion.

A. Topic 1

B. Topic 2

C. Topic 3

III. Chair’s Report

Board chair frames the meeting for board members by giving them some context:

• "We're still getting to know our new executive," or
• "Our main topic is budget -- this meeting we're looking at projections and proposing guidelines to staff. At the next meeting we'll be voting on it."

IV. President’s Report

• 3. What can we as a Board do to support these priorities? Board Chair

VI. Finance Report Treasurer

The board chair may ask if there are any questions regarding it, but does not take a vote on it, unless it has been audited first. The treasurer’s report is simply filed.

VII. New Business

New business pertains to new items on the agenda. Any of the board directors may introduce a new item prior to the meeting with the approval of the board chair. The new item can then be discussed, amended if needed and put to a vote.

VIII. Announcements

Unless the board chair has an urgent announcement, the board chair opens up the floor for general announcements of special interest to the membership.

IX. Meeting Closing

• Review actions from this meeting
• Meeting calendar

X. Adjournment

When the chair determines that all business is finished, the board chair entertains a motion to adjourn. A motion to adjourn must be seconded and may not be debated or amended. A majority vote moves the meeting to adjournment.
