Board approves summer powers for committees, minutes and scheduling items

The board voted unanimously by voice to approve routine procedural business, including the May 27 minutes and two motions granting committees authority to meet and act over the summer.

The meeting opened with the chair asking members to approve the May 27 minutes; a motion was made and the minutes were approved with no recorded opposition. The chair then requested a motion to empower the administrative committee to act on the board's behalf during the summer for urgent, time-sensitive matters; members moved, seconded and approved the motion. The board also approved a motion allowing the buildings and grounds committee, the bylaws working group and any other committee necessary to meet through the summer to advance priority initiatives.

Board members were asked to provide availability for a fall retreat (evening meetings in September and October). The chair also announced the foundation annual meeting on Sept. 17 and the full-board meeting scheduled for Sept. 23.
