NCDEA Mid-Year Board Meeting

 The NCDEA Board held a very productive session June 9^th and 10^th. The location was sunny and hot Phoenix so it was conducive to staying in the meetings to complete our tasks. Six board subcommittee meetings were held in advance of the full board meeting to address Scholarships, By-Laws, Annual meeting events, our Website, Professional Development and Strategic Plan review. In separate sessions, the Board also addressed two questions “How can we help our Partners?” & “What are the ways we can improve our Partnerships?" NACD liaison Jack Majeres participated in the meeting and addressed the board with an update of NACD activities. Board member reports made up the sharing part of the meeting with regional and officer updates on their respective responsibilities. An important and extensive new document was developed for use in orienting new board members and guiding the Association on a positive track relative to Policy and Procedures. Plans for the upcoming national Conservation Partnership Leadership training conference were discussed. As usual follow up on the board action item list was included in the agenda. Your board members are dedicated to carrying out their responsibilities for the Association. This meeting was but a part of that commitment.
