Meeting definition
Adopt the following definitions of Open, Member Only, and Executive Committee Meetings:
Open Board Meetings. These meetings are open to Inland Action “friends” who may wish to join us for a specific speaker. Inland Action members may invite guests to any open Board meeting. Inland Action maintains lists of members and alternates, as well as other individuals who are routinely notified of open meetings.
Member Only Board Meetings. These meetings are for Inland Action members and alternates only. The first meeting of each month is a Member only meeting.
Executive Committee Meetings. These meetings are intended for Executive Committee members only. The Executive Committee consists of Inland Action Officers, Committee Chairs, and appointed at-large members. The Executive Committee meets on the fifth Tuesday of a month.
M/S/P: Definitions adopted.
Communicating Inland Action positions
Adopt the following policy relative to communicating Inland Action positions on legislation, projects/programs, and grants, as discussed at the April 29, 2014 Executive Committee meeting:
Consistent with the Inland Action Bylaws, the Executive Committee has all powers of the full board, except for (i) changing the By-Laws and (ii) the authority to take a formal position on behalf of Inland Action with respect to any community issue.
Staff is authorized to send communications on behalf of Inland Action whenever the Board has an established position on a community issue or piece of legislation. The full Board shall be notified whenever the Executive Committee or Inland Action staff takes action on behalf of the organization.
In those cases where the Executive Committee or staff recommends positions which have NOT been discussed at a Board meeting and action is necessary prior to the next Board meeting, an email will be sent to the membership indicating the pending position based upon the Executive Committee or staff recommendation and that a lack of response by a specific deadline will be considered support for the proposed action.
Notwithstanding the above, the Executive Committee and staff should always give careful consideration to any action which would be controversial and/or in potential conflict with the interests of Inland Action members. Such items should always be referred for discussion at a full Board meeting.
M/S/P: Policy adopted
Circulation of Community Events
Adopt the following policy relative to Announcements and Circulation of Community Events:
Inland Action consists of over fifty prominent business and community leaders who are engaged in civic, professional, fraternal, and charitable groups. Members are encouraged to share information about their organizations and events with fellow Inland Action members in the following manner:
a. Members are welcomed to make short announcements about community and organizational events during the Announcements item on the weekly meeting agendas.
b. Members may request that written invitations be included in the Events Folder circulated at each regular meeting.
c. Due to the large number of events, electronic notifications to the Inland Action membership shall be limited to:
- Events sponsored or co-sponsored by Inland Action.
- Events sponsored by Inland Action members or partners; i.e.,
IEEP, Mobility 21, The Monday Morning Group, may be posted on the Inland
Action web site calendar.
M/S/P: Policy adopted
