GOLD LEAF Slide show presented by Nikki. The reviewers gave feedback to each question with suggestions and applauds. Margaret voiced concern that the application is not transparent with what they are asking. Diane explained how the reviewers look at each application. Examples of other applications will be presented at LDI this fall. Some highlights mentioned include needing policy and procedures on issues such as dissolution of districts and awarding of scholarships. We need to be able to put the policies all together and show that we have reviewed them with dates. Our bylaws did not reflect our policy and procedures. Membership letters were also discussed to identify those members who have renewed after a period of time and those members who will be expiring. It was mentioned that some CBSPAN members have not received any letters or information at all. We will be creating a new member folder to be available at the fall conference in Oct. New categories were discussed to add to our website. These will be discussed when Scott joins us later today. It was recommended that the wording and framing for next year’s application be more specific to the questions. Chris made the suggestion to make sure the authors of articles in CBSPANNER include board title if appropriate. Our new Gold Leaf Committee will be Joy Lazo, Connie Gull, and Trish Ryan. Thank you!
