Booster Club’s Position on Communications Involving Proposed Development of ISHOF and Aquatic Peninsula
Discussion: Meeting opened with a brief discussion concerning Booster Club Insurance. Shortly thereafter, Directors discussed their concerns regarding Booster Club sending communications involving proposed development on aquatic property by the City of Fort Lauderdale and its private partner. It was suggested that no communications go out on the development project without acquiring the approval of all seven directors. It was also suggested that having a unanimity requirement would needlessly delay the sending of such communications. One director discussed his concern for having his personal name associated with communications, and its potential impacts for him professionally. It was also suggested that the Booster Club should have a communications committee to prepare and/or review such communications. All directors were in agreement that the Booster Club needed to continue exercising caution in taking a formal position on the proposed development but should continue providing information to members.
Motion: Melissa moved to have all communications involving the proposed development of the aquatic peninsula be previewed and approved by a minimum of four directors before being sent to the membership. Seconded and passed.
Motion: Melissa moved that any communications, including attachments, that are not solely the words of the Booster Club have the author clearly identified, and if the communication involves an opinion or position that there also be disclaimer language included in the communication. Seconded and passed.
Summary of Action Items: The Board will vote on insurance including a policy for Directors and Officers at the next regular meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 7:57 PM
Meeting minutes submitted by Secretary, Melissa Scott.
