[SBU Board] Monday’s Agenda

[Monty Gray]

What prompted my suggestion was that I heard (I forget from whom) that some of the directors had negative comments after the fact about the schedule for the Sweetheart Sectional, such as the relatively short lunch break on Friday or Saturday.  It seemed to me that it would be valuable to the Board to have any such comments ahead of time.  

I don’t know what the best order should be.  Maybe we should let the directors know that sending them copies for review isn’t just a formality, that we really want and value their input.  I don’t have a view on what the sequence or schedule should be.

One more thing to add to my comments below that I forgot to mention...I always include our DIC on the submission to the ACBL, as a courtesy and to provide them an opportunity for direct feedback.  It's not officially a step we're required to take or get, but I've done it with every flyer I've made for us, largely because my predecessor did it and it seems like the right thing to do. :)

Part of the ACBL's process for the flyer getting approved for our distribution is review by the head director for the unit/district. Thus, no flyer goes out with directorial approval. (How much attention is actually paid in that process may be a wholly separate issue, but that is the intended step for directors to raise concerns about tournament schedules prior to distribution.)

We have, in the past, when making significant changes to tournament formats or schedules (including but not limited to the changes that were outcomes of the tournaments comm & survey, like adding 0-750 sessions and changing strats), run those changes by our local directors and/or the appropriate DIC to get feedback before making the change, at the board's determination and discretion. 
Generally speaking, I'm not sure it makes sense to run a schedule by the DIC until the board has actually reviewed that schedule.  In the past, what we've done is if there's some proposed change or schedule issue that the board is concerned about, we hold board approval contingent on DIC approval. If we want to have a draft that the board agrees on, then a DIC review, then a board approval cycle, that's going to change the publicity schedule for the year pretty significantly, but if that's desired, we can figure it out.

If we haven’t already done so, could we solicit comments from the directors before we’re asked to give approval?  Thanks.

Please also make sure to include an item for reviewing the Suntan Sectional flyer. I'll bring printouts and send drafts in advance.
