NASSCED MEETINGS

Board Members are expected to attend all meetings; each Board Member is responsible for arranging his or her own transportation to these meetings.

  • Annual Meeting & Board Meeting.  Traditionally the annual meeting has been held the first Thursday and Friday in December.  The board will meet on Wednesday the day before the Annual Meeting. 
  • Board Planning Meeting.  This could be February, March or April at a time and location determined by the board (usually determined at the annual meeting on Friday morning).  One Board Member generally offers to host the meeting.   
    • The hosting Board Member is responsible for finding a hotel and making reservations for the group.  The hotel should include a meeting room and lunch. 
    • The hosting Board Member is also responsible for finding a place where the board can have dinner on Friday and Saturday evening. 
  • Each Board member usually brings a small gift from their state for their fellow Board members.

  • Read all documents sent before each meeting and respond to all e-mails/texts. 
  • After any meetings, Board Members are responsible for giving a review to absent members and also responsible for contacting their Region after the Board meeting to keep them informed.
