The Board of Directors held an in person meeting today and among the topics of discussion was the need to have an open conference call type meeting that would include all of the BOD and Staff. The proposed conference call would include the entire staff of North Carolina Woodworker and should take place within the next thirty-forty five days. The Bod has had a good deal of success with this type of meeting over the last several months. Travis has offered his Bridge for the meeting. I would like to start a discussion that will serve as a prerequisite for the topics that should be discussed in this teleconference. There are several topics that the Board and several of the staff feel a need to discuss. The main one being moderation practices and guidelines. We all need to be on the same page and we all need to perform our duties in the best interest of North Carolina Woodworker. The best time that the BOD have found for these teleconferences to happen is usually between the hours of 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM during the week. Thursday evenings have in the past proven a good time. We would like all of the staff to be on this conference call. I will attach a poll to this thread so all can vote on the best time for a meeting. Please respond with issues that you feel need to be discussed. Let's make this first meeting a great success.
