In light of recent investigations of nonprofit groups by the IRS, members were reminded that Inland Action cannot support or oppose candidates for public office. Members were reminded that when speaking in a public forum, they need to clarify for the record when they are speaking as a private citizen and not on behalf of Inland Action. The Inland Action Board of Directors must formally vote on specific issues before public statements on made on behalf of the organization.
Potential members were identified and discussed. Members will reach out to potential individuals and will be invited to attend a future meeting as a guest.
The group discussed possible future speakers. It was agreed that the speakers should continue to be relevant, insightful and reflect the interests of the members and core mission of the group.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 a.m.
