V. Discuss changes to nomination and voting process

Do we want to change the board nomination and voting process to involve the Board and Department Heads only? – Anthony

One problem with this is it is a blurry line between what the department head is and what is just upper management in that department. At what point do you draw that voting block? – Brad

We need to think about what we are voting for. Do our volunteers really know who they are voting for and what we are looking for in leadership? I would like us all to read or listen to the audio book The Ideal Team Player. We don’t need to make a decision yet, but I did want to discuss this now since the 2017 Board members were here tonight as well. – Anthony
