I actually got my BOG less than two weeks after the meeting but, I have to say I completely agree with Molly. The necessity for the written version of club business has to be presented in a timely manner. I work for a municipality with a population of over 50,000. Our Village Board meetings occur the first and third Monday of every month. It is imperative that the minutes are ready for the next board packet and posted to our web site the Friday prior to the next meeting, which is less than two weeks after the meeting. There is no option for minutes not being accurate and ready for the next meeting. Yesterdays Board packet that I had to ready for the meeting Monday was 167 pages long. I realize that a dog club and a municipality are totally different entities, but they both are governed by a President and Board of Trustees. As Molly says information is the highway.
