Article IV, Section 1. Membership. Qualification: Membership in the BDNA shall be open to all residents, property owners, and holders of a business license located within the boundaries as defined in Article III of these bylaws. Membership may also include individuals who subscribe to the purposes of the BDNA but live outside of the boundaries. They must be approved by a unanimous vote of the Board. Article VII, Section 2. Eligibility for Board Service: Only persons eligible for membership shall be qualified to hold an elected or appointed position.
Ongoing topics to be taken up at later meetings:
❖ APPROVE: Closure of BDNA’s Facebook business account, and replacement with a simple Facebook page. Presentation by Stephanie Torgerson.
❖ APPROVE: Posting of meeting videos on the website instead of on YouTube, where they remain hidden from public view. Mara Burmeister shared that recording meetings is not required and this will be discussed during the retreat
❖ APPROVE: Discuss BDNA’s relationship with Impact NW. Approve one director to temporarily represent BDNA in discussions with Impact NW. This director may form a small committee composed of directors, advisers, and volunteers; board must approve committee and permanent lead. (Note: All BDNA committees must be led by a director.)
❖ APPROVE: Revise bylaws via resolution as shown in attachment (p. 12). These suggested revisions will give the board greater ability to operate in service to the community.
❖ APPROVE: Formation of an events committee on an event-by-event basis. This approach draws participants who are enthusiastic about a particular event.
