Got a few minutes spare, and wanted to start some -org discussions
after recovering from our by-law adventures, successfully completed.
Here are items that come to mind when I think "what should I be doing
for GNHLUG" besides getting the CentraLUG meeting plans in order,
posting announcements, and annoying Ben. Please add your own items to
our shared list:
1. Having the old Board of Directors elect a new board to replace
them: how do we make this happen so it's all above-board and legal? I
talked with my dad about this recently - he does a lot of work with
committees and volunteer organizations. His suggestion is that we
declare, by general consent, that the term of the board be fifteen
minutes. When fifteen minutes has elapsed without the old board
holding a meeting, as required, we declare the old board finished and
a appoint new board, based on the signers of the new bylaws. Their
first order of business: declaring the term of the board to be three
years. Second, passing the new by-laws. Third, appointing new
officers. Old business, new business and motion to adjourn -- we
could be done before the meal shows up at Martha's next week. Will a
quorum of new board members be able to make it for dinner?
2. Setting up a bank account, and directing the treasurer to draft a
budget. Perhaps a finance -sub-committee?
3. Planning for next year. We had some quick conversations last night
on getting together a Special Meeting in April. Stay tuned...
4. Getting ourselves a Tax ID, following #2 and #1.
5. Considering 501(c) 3 or 6 registration early next year.
What else comes to mind?
