We had low voter turnout for general members. As a result of this, we are going to find a general member to represent the other general members, and that person will hold a board position. This will be discussed more at a later date, and will be decided on before the next platform vote.
Legislation:
None of the legislative proposals were voted off.
Legislative priorities in order of effort they will receive:
- Offenders Coaching Kids
- Increased Penalty Zones
- Felony exposure
- Ownership of Children's images
Offenders Coaching Kids and Increased Penalty Zones will get the majority of our time; the other two efforts are likely to be multi-year projects.
Requests were also made for legislative support around foster care issues (always a priority for Bethan).
Education/Outreach:
Education/Outreach effort in order of prioritization:
- Votes were split evenly, 4-4, between Online Education and In-Class materials
- A small number of general members and Board members bypassed this vote in favor of requesting that we spend more time on legislation.
Communication
Communication preferences as prioritized:
- Majority went to monthy emails
- RSS off blog and weekly-email summary tied for second, 2-2
- Members requested message board, so we built one, linked to website.
- Majority of Board was interested in quarterly general meetings
- Local membership was interested in regular meetings; many members are distant
