Discussion of how we're running board meetings - 
 
1. We need structure to:
        Harmonize interaction between members and visitors - limit discussions
        Making decisions expeditiously
        Limit the length of the meeting. 
 
2.  Start each meeting acknowledging board members and then general membership - announcement of who is on the board, rules for non-board members participation.

 
3. Agenda items will be given priority.
4. Those who wish to present an idea to the board must have it on paper and it must be presented prior to the meeting to be placed on the agenda.
