Welcome: The Board’s meeting time is dedicated to the CSDB governance team’s mission and top-priority focus areas. Your insights are needed and welcomed, and the Board encourages you to meet with the most appropriate person. ”Opportunity to Address the Board” is a chance to present brief comments or pose questions to the Board for consideration or follow-up. Each person is asked to focus comments to five minutes. The boundaries are designed to help keep the meeting focused and in no way should limit conversations beyond the Board meeting. The “Action Section” is based around decision points backed by prior information/discussion or highly routine. If you are interested in helping the statewide CSDB effort, please talk with any member of the leadership team or call CSDB at (719-578-2102). Opportunities abound. Your participation is highly desired.
