** wayfinding signage for venue
** bike racks?
* Discussion:

* Discussion:
** Jon: How many printed copies? Anna: A few available at front table, mostly referred to screen PDF.
** Jon: Advertising the event? Anna: webpage news post, fb event, and included in newsletter.
** Geoff: Should add amendments to Bylaws that we have discussed regarding [http://edmontonbikes.ca/w/Bylaws_(2014)#Election_of_the_Board_of_Directors board member term] changing from max 4 years to max 4 years on the Executive. Nancy: Should we approve a motion at the board table as a recommendation for the AGM? Dan: Yes, this would be good context for members so see that board is in support. Derek: Would this theoretically allow someone to stay on the board for 30 years? Anna: Yes, if we only limit Executive term, would allow non-Exec to stay on for any length of term. Would have to include a separate amendment or addition about general board member term length (eg. 8 years) if we are interested in limiting this. Jon: Current bylaws seem to allow for 1 year “vacation” from board member but then return. Karl: Would need a draft of Special Resolution for change to Bylaws within 21 days of the AGM on Oct 2, i.e. Sept 11.
