[Businessmtg] May Business Meeting Agenda

[Dawn Werezak]

Hello Everyone,

Well the month of April has flown by and we are again slated for a Business Meeting this month.  This past month has been extremely busy for the entire steering committee.  Due to time constraints for the SC this month, we have decided that  we will be running an abbreviated business meeting this month.  Please remember that while we have stated the Business meeting will run every second month, this will happen only when business needs to be discussed.  

To recap a bit before we proceed, shortly before the Business Meeting closed in April some holes started to appear and we reached a point that was not covered in the information that we had and were using regarding the KBDM process.  At that point I did some research and gathered some more information regarding the use of the KBDM process.

As I stated in the email that I sent to the Business Meeting, along with the information I had collected, I missed a key step in the KBDM process.  That key step was failing to state the points that we were in agreement on before going ahead and asking for a motion.  Failure to do this step allowed for a motion to be made that did not fit the consensus of the meeting.  This also meant that I asked for a motion out of order and I made the decision to toss it out.

At that time I also sent a link to each of you with the revised format to read and to study.  Following is the agenda for this months business meeting:

1.  Discussion of the KBDM process - May 15/08 to May 23/08:
a.   What is the KBDM?
b.   What is the process and becoming familiar with the process as we understand it now?
c.   Information sharing on the KBDM by all members - so here is the chance to share what you  know of the process due to it being used in your area/district or from information that you have gathered and so on.  

The purpose of this is so that we all have a solid understanding of KBDM due to the sharing of information and study.

2.  Discussion of Item 2 b) from the last meeting - May 24/08 to May 31/08: 

Item 2. What do we do with monies over and above the Prudent Reserve?

b)  Do we send a representative to the Al-Anon Conference in Pittsburgh?
            

a.  Recap of the discussion to end the April/08
b.  Based on consensus of this agenda item then we will have a vote on it.


Love and Serenity,
Dawn
