Open Forum:
A quick summary of our discussion for possible changes at the AGM in August of 2008.
1 - Make 4v4 a voting position.
2 - Require that you must be on the board for the previous year in order to be eligible for President, VP-Travel or VP-Recreation.
3 - Change the term of office for the executive committee members to two years alternating from each other so that all 5 positions don't end at the same time.
4 - Include a minimum attendance clause for all board members.
TRSA is short on uniforms. A mass email will be sent out to everyone to see if anyone would be willing to donate their uniform back to TRSA.
MOTION 03-2008:2 Motion to adjourn the Board Meeting at 8:31pm (Julie Rouillard/Rob McDonald) motion carried.
