agenda:forming;i.e., creating a group identity and shared agenda

accomplishments so far: 1. job description for Board members 2. distinct orientation process being designed

discussion of the nature of a Board and its functions

PERC working definition of "group development":

capacity=time X numbers X skills X experience X motivation

time=hours "numbers" are not enough "development" needs to address all of the variables

Where would we be most effective in increasing capacity?

Where would we be most interested in increasing capacity?

issue of a "two-tiered" selection process:carefully selected vs.nominated and elected

This can be reconciled by specifying criteria up-front (at the time of nomination) and having candidate address his suitability re these criteria

next meeting:October 5, 4:30-6:30
