Free Geek Michiana : Agenda for 10/28/2008 Board Meeting
FREE GEEK Michiana, Inc. - "Helping the Needy Get Nerdy"
I plan to make this annual meeting pro forma. In other words, the meeting will be as short as possible but will fulfill legal obligations. We will rough in an agenda for a follow up board meeting where we will discuss issues thoroughly and try to reach consensus on proposals. We will set a date and time for the follow up board meeting.
Most important, the officers must attend the meeting to make reports and to fulfill the quorum requirement. The meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 28, 7:00 PM at our warehouse office.
Since all board members are subscribers to this mailing list, this letter is the formal announcement of the board meeting. All volunteers are invited to the board meeting and are always encouraged to speak and vote their minds. The board of directors has always followed the majority sentiment of officers and volunteers.
Thomas Brown, DirectorAll board decisions were public but informal, made at the warehouse during volunteer meetings or on the mailing list service. All decisions were announced on our mailing list. Therefore, our mailing list IS our written and public record for the previous year's work, and there are no minutes of the previous meeting to read or approve.
The Secretary will formally record this meeting because we need to attach a copy of the minutes to a Corporate Compliance report due on Oct. 31, 2008. In fact, the officers will type the minutes as soon as the meeting is adjourned.
Officer reports should be written, if possible, so they can be easily included in the minutes. If the reports are on digital media such as floppy disks or thumb drives, that would be even better.
A. Secretary - Michael Cook
B. Treasurer - Richard Zimmerman
C. Director - Thomas Brown
