BOARD OF DIRECTORS UPDATE

I just wanted to take a few minutes to bring everyone up to 
date on what the board of directors has been up to. This 
term brought 3 new members on board: Megan Ironside, Chris 
Moran, and Steve Ott. The rest of us welcome the new faces, 
and have quickly put them to work. :) We also bid farewell 
to 3 members of the board: Andy Morrisey, Steve Seabrook, & 
Nalan Yuksel. Although I'm sure they will stay involved in 
the league, we thank them for their service and hard work.

The new board has had two meetings so far, and most of that 
time has been spent on orientation. Based on the 
recommendations of the previous board, we are revamping the 
way we operate, in hopes of making better use of our time.  
This has meant even the returning members have some changes 
to get used to.

The biggest change is a reorganization of the board into 4 
distinct areas of operation, or cells. Each area is covered 
by 2 board members, who coordinate activities within that 
particular cell. They work with other volunteers and our 
General Manager Nick Roberts to research issues and develop 
solutions, which they then present for recommendation to the 
board. For your information, the breakdown of cells and 
their associated directors is as follows:

Business Administration: Deb Murphy, Chris Moran
Communications: Robin Kealey, Megan Ironside
Facilities: Gavin Thompson, UPI Rep (currently vacant)
Leagues/Tournaments: Lauren Wardell, Steve Ott

As a league member, if you wish to raise an issue to the 
board, it is best that you direct your concerns to the 
president, general manager, or one of the board members in 
the appropriate cell. Of course, any director will be happy 
to talk to you on any issue, but this is the most effective 
method.

Finally, for your information, board meetings are currently 
scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of every month, with the next 
meeting being Tuesday, November 12th. Minutes from the 
meetings will be available once they have been approved, and 
the communications cell is currently working on the 
logistics of making that happen. This should help keep 
everyone informed of what is happening on a more regular 
basis. You can expect to see the first sets of minutes 
within the next couple of weeks.

Cheers!
Ken Lange
