January Board Organizational Meeting
Extension Councils and Districts organize for the year at their January Board Meeting. Joint board meetings with outgoing and incoming boards meet in the case of Extension Councils, and District Governing Bodies elect their officers at the January meeting. For both Councils and Districts, the meeting provides an opportunity for review of laws, policies and other board procedural requirements. A Board Leadership Module, “Board Organizational Meeting,” includes a PowerPoint presentation that can be used to help the board as they organize for the year. Several handouts for board members can be printed or projected for all to see through the course of the meeting: http://www.ksre.k-state.edu/boardleadership/board-leadership-modules/board-organizational-meeting/Index.html.
