Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to this thread. As I indicated earlier this was evidently posted the day after my hard drive went out. Anyway - I agree with Robert and I agree with Theresa. We do need a team (aka committee) to conduct the follow up and according to the by- laws, that is the Youth Committee. The Board has recognized the need for some time and we are trying to organize the committee. The problem is, we are also trying to organize the Finance Committee, the Human Resource Committee, the Human Relations Committee, and the Enterprise Committee as well as the Youth Committee. We are also trying to recruit additional Board members and have been tieing these committee chair responsibilities to the vacant Board member positions. It isn't working. After some digging, I realize that the by-laws do not require that the committee chair person be a Board member. SO... are there any volunteers on the staff who would like to take on these committee chair responsibilities? If not, I'll continue to cover them as best I can, taking them in order of urgency. (Youth is next after HR and Enterprise.)
