Club Governance--Susan Bonn

Moderated by Winston Burbank and Alan Wolf. Attended by Susan Bonn and Dirk Vanderlaan for St Moritz. 
Slides from symposium are available. 

Focuses on issues regarding putting the club first, be mindful of Conflicts of interest. Minutes should be posted regarding conflicts that come up 
Minutes should be posted on the web after each meeting. 
Use minutes as a communication medium with your club members. Be open and transparent and mindful of the fact that the Board members are the club's stewards. 
Be transparent for your members. Do open board meetings. Post minutes on website. 
While most meetings will be help in open forum format, there are times where Executive Session is necessary--use this format to handle disputes and sensitive issues. Voting board members only and information from the session remains closed. This is a highly confidential session and should only be used in very certain circumstances. While minutes would be taken of executive sessions, they are not included in the normal part of the meeting minutes.
