The next meeting of the Greater Seattle Branch of the Cascadia Guild will be held on November 17th, 2016 at 6:30 PM.
Location will be the meeting room at the Edmonds Public Library, 650 Main St, Edmonds, WA 98020.
The primary purpose of this meeting will be to take steps to organize the Cascadia Guild into a formal organization.
Agenda for Business Meeting
A) Call to Order
B) Call for nominations for Chairperson pro-tem (chairperson pro-tem will preside over meetings until Guild is formally organized)
C) Election of Chairperson pro-tem
D) Chairperson pro-tem takes charge of meeting
E) Call for nominations for Secretary pro-tem (secretary pro-tem will take minutes of each meeting until Guild is formally organized)
F) Election of Secretary pro-tem
G) Address by Meeting Sponsor (Roy Smith) concerning purposes and vision for the meeting
H) Consideration of Resolutions and Motions (each item will be proposed, may be debated and/or amended, and will be ultimately adopted or rejected by the attendees)
1) Resolution to form a formal organization for The Cascadia Guild, Greater Seattle Branch.
2) Motion that a committee be appointed by the chair to draft bylaws for the guild.
3) Motion to set the next meeting and/or a regular meeting schedule.
4) General discussion regarding aims and structure of the proposed formal guild. This discussion may serve to help guide the bylaws committee in its work.
5) Any other resolutions or motions by the membership may be introduced for consideration.
I) Adjournment of Business Meeting
The meeting will be conducted in accordance with general parliamentary procedure, though probably fairly informally within that framework. In the highly unlikely event that any disputes over procedure arise, they will be resolved by the chairperson in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition.
The library closes at 8:00 PM, so our business meeting will need to be concluded by then. Attendees are invited to continue socializing at any of several appropriate nearby venues.
