Discussion of Excellence Advisory Group Proposal (Merissa Green)\

At the July board meeting, the Board of Directors showed support for the formation of an advisory group to serve as advocates for the membership. The group’s role was proposed as:\

1) Foster an environment of excellence between members
2) Be a resource for the membership regarding the DMS code of conduct and policies
3) Handle complaints against fellow members (i.e. unexcellent behavior, harassment, etc). This will include investigating the allegations, facilitating a resolution and/or recommending an action as a result of the complaint to the Board of Directors
4) Help facilitate monthly membership meetings\

More discussion and the meeting minutes can be found at this link. Anyone interested in serving on the advisory group please come with your ideas!
