Board meeting April 18
The 23-member SPJ board of directors, which makes policy decisions for the organization, is schedule to meet Saturday, April 18 in Greencastle, Ind.
One of the things I have tried to do as president is make the board and executive board issues as accessible to the members as possible. You can see the agenda and the supporting documents here. It has gone out to board members, committee members and past leaders. It will be distributed in Leads Thursday.
Please take the time to look it at and if you have a question or comment please contact me or another board member.
We have a number of important issues to discuss including the 2009-2010 budget and the strategic plan.
Chapter leaders should examine the proposal to end the requirement for annual reports. The board can only vote to put this before the delegates who must decide if they want to change the bylaws. Feel free to discuss this issue with your regional director.
We are also considering a joint national convention in 2011 with the Radio Television News Directors Association.
