Fellow NAWIC Members -

With voting in full swing, this feels like an excellent time to discuss my process for voting at National Board meetings. Information is received in advance, so we all have a chance to review and process the proposals. My mode of functioning is to study the proposals, then run them through our Operations Manual, Mission Statement, Core Purpose, and Strategic Plan. My next filter is “Does this positively impact NAWIC as a whole?” At the Board meeting, all perspectives are discussed. My goal is to never make a decision without hearing and considering all sides. My stance is clear; what is best for NAWIC and our membership. Often, proposals are sent back to answer questions and may go through multiple revisions before a final vote occurs. There have been times when my vote has been to circulate the proposal to the membership; to me hearing the pros and cons helps determine my vote plus I want to hear what all of you think. We have had great input sent to the Board on proposals the last few years, both pros and cons. Our Board takes your input very seriously. We are members just like you!
