DEMA’s Board of Directors will hold a video Board meeting on August 22, 2024, 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.
Prior to the Board meeting, all reports and other documents, including consent agenda items, are provided to the Board. This allows Board Members to study the documents in detail before 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 August’s meeting, consent agenda items include:
- April & May 2024 Board Meeting Minutes
- June 2024 DEMA Show Committee Minutes
- June 2024 DEMA International Membership Committee Minutes
- June 2024 DEMA Manufacturers Committee Minutes
- 2024 Q2 Financial Report and Manufacturers Fund Recap
- DEMA Membership Update
- 2024 DEMA Show Sales Report
- DEMA Rewards Program Status
The Board will use meeting time to review DEMA’s annual financial audit, discuss the status of the DIVE BOAT Act, discuss Board-related matters and priorities for 2025, set a preliminary budget for the upcoming year, and discuss other relevant topics. The video meeting will conclude with the Board covering any new business or consent agenda items that may require further discussion.
