Discussions:
Fund raising for FY20 from supporting towns increased by $4,500 to $33,800
Current governance states nine members are enough for the council, but two more may be nominated for
a total of eleven. The Council can appoint a member to finish a vacancy until the term ends, when they
may run for election, including any nomination from the floor at the Annual Meeting, June 18 2019.
Write-in votes will be discussed prior to the Annual Meeting.
The Accreditation timeline is now extended through the summer and maybe into 2020. Mary Carlson
presented a punch list of remaining tasks for the application workbook. The process has been valuable in
identifying the areas MSAC needs to strengthen.
Edits were made to the survey for the Annual Meeting which will go out with the Annual Renewal
