RE: [RC] AERC stuff - Bob Morris

What Steph wrote here is entirely correct but it is not the
entire story by any means. She wrote <<<If you have
something you want the Board to address, you need to get it
on the agenda of the meetings. Through a committee, or via a
director. If you don't get your issue on the agenda, chances
are it will stay in the 'stuff to be concerned about'
file.>>>>

First off, no one outside the BoD has any idea as to what
will be discussed at the Board Meeting. The agenda, and here
I mean the topics in detail, are never revealed until it is
to late for any knowledgeable input. Right now is when we
should be speaking with our Directors and Committee Chairs.
But what about? we do not have any concept of what the BoD
has been discussing since the mid-year meeting as it is all
privileged and restricted to the BoD only!

There have been a number of proposals from this venue alone.
I myself submitted a resolution in proper for to the Board.
Will it be discussed or even considered? I do not know, as
the BoD, in almost its entirety, has declined to comment on
its merits. In fact the BoD has so declined on any matters
discussed on Ride Camp or other forums. They only hold
discussions in-camera. Also states was<<But a motion - a
resolution - which is presented to the Board,
which is part of the agenda, will get discussed and will get
voted on. It will become part of the permanent record - the
minutes of the corporation.>>>

I will take bets on that one!

Subject: [RC] AERC stuff


Art, Jim, and others who have concerns about AERC business:

The AERC Board meets twice during the year - at convention,
and at mid-year.
There is little or no business being conducted by the Board
between these
meetings. If you have something you want the Board to
address, you need to
get it on the agenda of the meetings. Through a committee,
or via a
director. If you don't get your issue on the agenda, chances
are it will
stay in the 'stuff to be concerned about' file. It's not
that others don't
agree, or that the Board doesn't care. It is simply a
function of the way
the organization conducts business. Even bringing things up
at the general
session (such as Jim says he will do) doesn't necessary
accomplish anything.
There are many Board members, a single question might get 25
different
answers. But a motion - a resolution - which is presented to
the Board,
which is part of the agenda, will get discussed and will get
voted on. It
will become part of the permanent record - the minutes of
the corporation.
This is where stuff happens, and this is how AERC can track
it's progress.

Find the appropriate committee, or a director willing to
take your issue to
the meetings, and keep at it. It's great to talk about this
stuff, and it
raises the level of awareness. And may convince some
directors to vote one
way or another on an issue... but if it doesn't get to the
meetings, doesn't
become part of the meeting agenda, it will most likely never
get resolved.
