Agenda


  1. Fundraising and finance committee 
    1. Designate a treasurer (see final bylaws text)
    2. When will the appointment start? What is their cycle? – 2 years in the interest of stability, starting in January. Will be back on a calendar FY. Wouldn't want Treasurer and chair to roll at the same time. Treasurer at the start of the year. Also doesn't say the person has to be on the Board, but it makes sense to have a BOD member.
    3. This cycle would be as if it started January 2021
    4. Will put an email call for Treasurer volunteer and member volunteer
    5. Who is on the subcommittee – RM, CC, a Treasurer and at least one more member. That other member could provide some continuity.

    2. Fundraising letters go out in April directing funds to OASIS Foundation on behalf of Samvera
