DEMA’s 2022 Board of Directors will convene during a video conference on February 17th to discuss ways the association can support and serve the industry and its Members throughout the upcoming 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 consent agenda items in advance of the Board Meeting. 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 February’s meeting, consent agenda items include:
- 2021 YE Financial Update and Manufacturers Fund Recap
- 2022 Membership Update
- DEMA Show 2022 Sales Report
- Public Policy Report
- 2021 Q4 Certification Census
- 2021 DEMA Board Self Evaluations
The Board will use meeting time to discuss anti-trust compliance guidelines, a review and update of the DEMA bylaws, proposed association programs and activities for the upcoming year, and the 2022 budget. The Board will also discuss the vacancy of the A1 board set, establish a committee for the 2023 Board election, and approve recommendations for officer appointments and committees. The video conference will conclude with the Board covering any new business or consent agenda items that may 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.
