1) Committee Decisions (continuation of last month's discussion on proposed changes to the Committee section of the Standing Rules)

Reviewed different ways to address/resolve disagreement between committee chairs and committee members.
Decided that the less bureaucratic option would be to allow members to bring their concerns to the Board for resolution. This can be done by adding a standing "Petitioner" section to the agenda for the monthly Board meetings.
Jen will add this item to the agenda for the June Board meeting under Open Discussion.
No further discussion needed.

2) Non-members as Directors and Officers (continuation of last month's discussion)

This was briefly discussed.
Allowing non-Members as Directors and Officers was not a big concern since Directors are voted in by the general membership and Officers are appointed by the elected Directors, so there is accountability.
No further discussion needed.

3) Bookkeeper as an Officer

There was a concern that the Bookkeeper was not covered under the D&O insurance since the Bookkeeper is not an Officer position. Making the Bookkeeper an Officer position would address this issue.
Additional research was done and it was determined that the Bookkeeper is indeed covered under the D&O insurance. Therefore, this is no longer a concern.
No further discussion needed.

4) Next steps

In the #rules-and-bylaws-review channel, on the Canvas, there is a running list of potential bylaws/standing rules changes to be evaluated.
There are currently about 14 items to be reviewed. We can review the 14 items over the next 2 meetings and be done with bylaws and standing rules review.
Jen will review the Canvas list and pick out 7 items to discuss at the next meeting. She will post the 7 items to the #rules-and-bylaws-review channel in the next 2 weeks and add them to the agenda for the next meeting.

5) Next meeting - Monday, July 22nd at 7 pm at the Leesburg space and virtual
