Hello everyone, Attached is the final draft of the board resolution.
Please look it over and let me know if you see anything that needs to be changed.
It looks like we are ready to initiate the graduation vote on [EMAIL PROTECTED]'m a little nervous... :-)
I am fairly certain the format of the board resolution is correct. I will also look at some of the recent graduation votes on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as templates for our vote message.
I will kick the vote off tomorrow (1/15), but I will wait until later in the day just in case someone here finds something that needs to be addressed.
