But, that said, since we have always paid for our volunteer board to attend meetings, I could see board members that do show up for the national and meetings to get a small stipend whether they work or not. They still have an obligation to 2 meetings at the national. Certainly not suggesting they get paid for "working", but to do their function as board members. Anyway, Tish only said it was discussed..................good to voice concerns over it though.
