• If there is someone waiting to speak, please say that you are raising your hand in the google call chat. (This will be demonstrated)

Pulse Check

This is a reminder to check if any officer provided no report in three consecutive board meetings. If so, at this point in the Board meeting, we add an item to the subsequent Member Meeting agenda, to call for nominations or volunteers for the Board to appoint to that office at next month's Board meeting.

Safety Committee

No update. Reports only expected in July.

New Business

Welcome to the new board members

• Let's check if everyone is in the new 2026-2027 board channel and the Board+advocate channel?
• Is everyone in the Leadership channel? FYI Leadership channel had existed for limited chat between officers and the board, but just recently used for communication between President and Board.
• Have you accepted the invitation to join the Board Google group?
• Note that Board private channels and email get summarized monthly for the minutes, and discussion in them kept to sensitive discussion. All other discussion is directed to the ask-the-board channel in slack. (Take a turn with the summary, or assign board members to a month)
• Discussions should not be held in secret unless necessary.
• At the beginning of every Board year, we've changed the login for the camera review. Are we still doing this?
