DEMA Board of Directors to Meet May 22nd

 DEMA’s Board of Directors will hold a virtual Board meeting on May 22, 2025, to discuss how the association can support and serve the industry and its members in the coming year.

The Board meeting will begin by voting to approve the “consent agenda,” a Robert’s Rules of Order device used to obtain “general consent” intended to expedite approval of routine items. The Board is provided all reports and other documents in advance of the Board meeting, including consent agenda items. This allows Board Members to study the documents in detail prior to the meeting so that the Board can spend its limited meeting time discussing forward-thinking items, policy, and strategic issues that demand its attention.


For May’s meeting, consent agenda items include:

  • February 2025 Board Meeting Minutes
  • 2025 Q1 Financial Update & Manufacturers Fund Recap
  • DEMA Membership Update
  • DEMA Show 2025 Sales Update
  • Minutes: DEMA Show Committee (3/19/25)
  • Minutes: DEMA Show Committee (4/2/25)
  • Minutes: DEMA Research Committee
  • Minutes: International Membership Committee (Draft)
  • Minnesota Dive Law
  • Nominations Committee Status
  • Florida Dive-In Day

The Board will dedicate meeting time to discuss a range of Association-related topics, including a financial review, using Claritas 360 for individual member marketing analyses, and an update on recent and ongoing lobbying efforts. Additionally, there will be a strategic discussion on Board priorities for 2026. The video conference will conclude with any new business or consent agenda items that require further discussion

More information on DEMA’s Board of Directors and Bylaws is available on the DEMA website. Complete minutes from past Board of Directors Meetings are available to current DEMA Members from the Member Dashboard of www.dema.org.
