Board Meeting Procedures

The meetings are run under standing orders similar to local body meetings.

These standing orders mean the following:

• Anyone wanting something to be discussed or correspondence to be tabled by the board needs to inform the Presiding Member at least five working days before a meeting for consideration of inclusion into the agenda
• Anyone wanting to speak to an item on the agenda should apply for speaking rights in advance of the meeting
• outlining what the subject matter is. The granting of speaking rights is then voted on by the board at the beginning of
• the meeting. Speaking rights are granted for the named subject only.
• Anyone interested in attending meetings and wanting to know more is welcome to contact Presiding Member, Claire Picone.
