Board Reorganization Proposal:
In August of 2007, the Summerfair Board met to discuss long term objectives and strategies for Summerfair Foundation Inc. As a result of this meeting, we launched an effort, led by Bob Hinman, Roger Harding, and Dave Ziegler, to design and recommend a Board restructuring aimed at focusing on 1) delivering long term objectives and 2) keeping our annual operations (including the Fair) running smoothly. To make this change requires a change in our Summerfair Foundation Inc. Bylaws, and that must happen through a vote of the Membership in July.
Below are the differences between the current Board structure and the proposed structure. Below are links for the revised bylaws. We encourage you to review these changes. If you have any questions or input, please contact Dave by email at Ziegler_D at msn.com. (Replace the "at" with @ without spaces. This was done to prevent spam emails.)
| Current Board Structure: |
- 17 Board Members
- Focus
is primarily operational
- Little or no work on future and long-term strategic
planning
|
|
| |
| New Board Structure - Will consist of two separate
groups: |
| Executive Board |
- Consists
of 6 members
- Members
may be non-Summerfair members
- These
positions are appointed, with the exception of
one elected Trustee, coming from the Summerfair membership
- Focus on strategic planning, governance
|
|
| Operations Committee |
- Candidates
are elected positions from Summerfair
membership
- Focus on delivering the annual plans, including the
Fair
|
Summerfair's bylaws must be revised to incorporate this organizational change. While the entire bylaws need to be reviewed and updated, the changes to incorporate this new board structure are shown in this proposed copy of the bylaws.
