Board incentive proposal--Active participation on the UAGD board has been light for various positions for some time.  Committee chairs or a committee member often face the daunting task of coordinating courses solo, sometimes several at a time.  This leads to burn out and questioning as to why they volunteer.  Other committee members may not know how best to support these efforts or may forget their important role.

I propose that active board participants can attend UAGD courses for 1/2 price.  Full CE credits/ benefits are included.

Active participation is defined as attendance of at least one board /committee meeting per year and one UAGD course per year and a fulfilled assignment as defined by a member of the presidency or committee chair. Potential assignments/ responsibilities include:

1. planning, and coordination of a course (speaker scouting and contract, venue arrangement, meal arrangement, or regular course marketing)
2. a quarterly newsletter or general membership information contact
3. website maintenance/administration
4. oversight of student chapter with 2 or more activities per year
5. financial trustee responsibilities for the UAGD
6. active membership drives/outreach
7. legislative advocacy
8. functioning as state delegate
9. service in the presidency

Pros: direct, financial incentive for active board participation. stimulus for proactively functioning in a position, encouragement for new board members to volunteer and participate. a reason for committee members to extend help to committee chairs without being asked.

Cons: less course revenue, potential conflict of interest, could be interpreted as "payment" or "salary" with its tax implications.
Board discusssion revised from student rate to 1/2 price.
Another stimulus to serve on the board is to remind MAGDs of need for service for LLSR--can serve on the board to count for points.
