Bike Edmonton Yearly Calendar - Nancy (5 min)
- Bike Edmonton Year-at-a-Glance
- This calendar will serve as a tool to know what will be happening month-to-month in each year.
- When chairing a meeting, this is good to look at to know what to discuss at the meeting.
Deficit Reduction Plan
Strategic Planning Goals - Jeremy (15 min)
Annual Report - (20 min)
- NOTE: Please read the Bike Edmonton Annual Report 2018 prior to the board meeting
- Ali to confirm with Chris that the Treasurer's Report is accurate
New Board Member Introductions - Nancy (20 min)
- Will be sending out a training plan to new board members.
- Between now and the retreat, read through the Annual General Report to get a sense of what we do in a nutshell
- One take-away is the capacity of the board (governance vs. administrative)
- Board members' interactions with staff and volunteers
- Either you represent the board as a whole or you don't represent the board
- Board is there to set policy and direction; shouldn't be directing daily operations from position of a board member.
- Everyone now should be set-up with Bike Edmonton email addresses
- Bike Edmonton has a spokesperson policy; only the President and Executive Director can speak on behalf of the organization.
- Training
- Board Leadership Conference takes place in March/April each year; consider attending this if you're interested in attending.
- Considering bringing folks into board meetings to present on relevant topics (Paths for People, CoE Bike Street Team, Anti-Oppression).
- There's a board evaluation process in the works. Keep an eye out for surveys at the beginning, in the middle, and end of your term on the board to ensure you're getting something out of your position.
- Looking for mentors for new board members. This will help new members get up to speed. Email Nancy if you're an existing member who wants to mentor.
New Business
Schedule a time to meet with your committees - ALL BOARD (10 min)
- This will be a standing agenda item during board meetings to encourage some momentum in committees
