BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
The Board discussed the policy governing the selection of the Board President and Vice President at the Board of Directors/Board Officers Retreat held on August 31, 2022, and provided the following direction by majority consent to amend the current policy:
1) That the Nominating Committee provide a written report to the Board. It was suggested that the report be submitted to the District Secretary one week prior to the meeting for inclusion in the agenda packet.
