Board of Directors’ meeting minutes (2)
Bobby explained that this is a new policy that came out of Governance Task Force discussions with Maridel Moulton. It is intentionally fairly broad but does create a formal policy. Directors are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities. It was agreed that approvals for programs are to be obtained from the CEO. If he has any concern about the appropriateness of a program, he will consult with the Board Chair.
The Board unanimously approved the Professional Development Policy. 5) Travel/Expense Reimbursement
The only revision to this policy is to reference “main cabin” class airfare.
The Board unanimously approved the Travel/Expense Reimbursement Policy.
