Meeting Information
Board Meetings are held at the Resource Center and occur on the second Monday of each month.
We encourage community involvement, so our doors are open during this time and we allow public comment.
Public Attendance
There is nothing in our By-Laws stating that our monthly board meetings are closed to the public, therefore we welcome anyone to attend our meetings. However, since we are a private entity and not a public body or governing board we are not required to have a public forum or comment section during our meetings.
We expect you to abide to the following rules while in attendance while we in return offer a safe & open environment for you to bring your comments forward without any fear of retaliation:
All phones and electronic devices must be shut off as to not disrupt the business of the meeting.
To remain quiet and refrain from applauding, cheering, hissing, or booing.
No offensive use of abusive, obscene, profane, slanderous, or threatening language or gestures.
No acting or behaving in such an unreasonable manner so as to alarm or disturb another to provoke breach of silence.
Any other act designed to intimidate, threaten, or harm persons or damage or destroy property.
You shall not engage in audible conversations which prohibit individuals from hearing the board discussion or disrupts the conduct of business.
In addition to Public Comments, the Executive Board will be more than happy to set up a meeting to discuss any concerns from our community. The Executive Board consists of the President, the Vice President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer.
