Last year, we had time for the board to meet and discuss the review at the meeting and vote to approve before delivering the final review and recommendations to @Moira Goggin. 15 minutes isn't going to be enough time. It would also make more sense to me to peg that around the morning break.

Have the revised bylaws been distributed? It would be good to get comments and questions out of the way beforehand.​

1. I've edited the subject lines on our two Denver meeting threads to make it easier to find info.  The post with map, menu, room confirmations, and anything related to logistics now has "logistics" in the sujbect line.  This thread, which deals more with background, homework before the meeting, agenda, and reference materials has been edited to include "meeting prep and homework" in the title.
2. Attached are the bylaws with markup and comments.  Please review these before the meeting and if you have any questions, use this thread and an @ mention for Robert Wood in your post. 
3. I'll updated the agenda and removed the Exectuive Director review.  I'll wait to post an updated agenda until all comments on the draft are completed.  Please review the agenda and post your comments/suggetions/changes by August 21, 2019. 
4. Thank you.

Too funny, great minds think alike...I was just on the phone with TCAG a potential firm to help with design updates and replace Robert for day to day duties on HL. (I was having a heck of a time getting HL pros to respond to our RFQ, the ice is breaking finally). On the call, we went over options and ideas, and I will have news to report in Denver from the various pros I've talked to in these areas.  I've been looking at the platform and our design for member engagement, member retention, member attraction, and leveraging this platform as the central source that ERP users would see as "good housekeeping seal of approval" (slides 2 and 4 growth strategy).  I don't always report the day-to-day work I do, sometimes I wait until I have something cohesive to report, and since all the committees now have a voice in marketing the ideas are expanding and developing, and it's great to see the committees coming up with design ideas and suggestions.

There are 1,000s of communities of all types and sizes using Higher Logic.  Some are customer-centric, some member, some educational, some governmental (there is a whole HUG area dedicated to BAR associations).  Fortunately, we choose a platform that has more flexibility then Socialcast, combines our web and community platforms, and is continuously being improved (I get a daily digest form Higher Logic on fixes and enhancements.)

Some platform changes in the works - directory listing of firms, visitor center for potential members, a pinned posts of thread titles to entice interest, updates for a sleeker design, scrolling banner at top, affiliate ad space, and of course the new Events Manager that we started using today.  We are removing the 'leader board' and replacing it with 'ribbons' for user profiles.  Cross-posting is now off, and I've got the Member Centric team fixing the arrow colors on our mobile app.  There are lots of changes that have been suggested, discussed, and will be implemented.

If you want to see how other groups use Higher Logic, visit these sites, and it will spark ideas as we engage in continued platform discussions – (most of these are custom designer themes):

1. It would be good to have this on the agenda, how much time should we spend on this topic? 
2. Would this include time for a status on the list of fixes in the works (see my post above)?
3. If we need more than the 15 minutes made available with the review off the agenda, what topic should be removed or length should be changed?

On the call, we went over options and ideas, and I will have news to report in Denver from the various pros I've talked to in these areas.  I've been looking at the platform and our design for member engagement, member retention, member attraction, and leveraging this platform as the central source that ERP users would see as "good housekeeping seal of approval" (slides 2 and 4 growth strategy).  I don't always report the day-to-day work I do, sometimes I wait until I have something cohesive to report, and since all the committees now have a voice in marketing the ideas are expanding and developing, and it's great to see the committees coming up with design ideas and suggestions.

There are 1,000s of communities of all types and sizes using Higher Logic.  Some are customer-centric, some member, some educational, some governmental (there is a whole HUG area dedicated to BAR associations).  Fortunately, we choose a platform that has more flexibility then Socialcast, combines our web and community platforms, and is continuously being improved (I get a daily digest form Higher Logic on fixes and enhancements.)

Some platform changes in the works - directory listing of firms, visitor center for potential members, a pinned posts of thread titles to entice interest, updates for a sleeker design, scrolling banner at top, affiliate ad space, and of course the new Events Manager that we started using today.  We are removing the 'leader board' and replacing it with 'ribbons' for user profiles.  Cross-posting is now off, and I've got the Member Centric team fixing the arrow colors on our mobile app.  There are lots of changes that have been suggested, discussed, and will be implemented.

If you want to see how other groups use Higher Logic, visit these sites, and it will spark ideas as we engage in continued platform discussions – (most of these are custom designer themes):
