My understanding is that often this agenda is somewhat last minute with some board members not always participating in a timely manner. If my understanding is wrong, please kindly correct me. If this is true, then board members would have to step up to make this work. It would give the membership a clear picture of who on the board is engaged....but, of course, being a board member is a volunteer position.

This is a good idea. There were many times I went to board meetings with no clue as to what our membership might think on a given subject, only to find out later there was a wealth of information out there that would have been beneficial. A given board member does not have to listen or agree, but having the input is worthwhile. This would be good!
