 * 44) Board Packet
 * 45) A board packet will be provide to the Directors, containing the materials for the meeting.
 * 46) The intent of the packet is to make our meeting time more focused and efficient, to ensure that the agenda topics are ready for discussion, and to enable Directors to be better prepared. The packet will include an 'Agenda Action/Discussion/Report' from each of the work groups, committees and new topics.  The idea is to gather a report from every group, including those that won't be on the agenda so that the board gets a complete update for all board activities. All reports will be combined into a packet and sent to the Directors. That way everyone has received the information for all topics prior to the meeting.  If a topic is not in the packet it doesn't get placed on the agenda for that board meeting.  Suggest for each report: (Executive Summary, Proposed Board Action, Proposed Implementation, Background Information / Reason for Board Consideration, Financial, Legal Implications, Related Materials, Reference Materials, Pros: Include reason(s) to vote in favor of the item, Cons: Include reason(s) why one might oppose it)
