wherein Liz is moderately efficient
Work was kind of blargh today, but Mr. Geniality and I did get video of another apartment, so that's good. I also finished editing the photos I took of said apartment on Saturday, but I was unable to get them onto our website because the uploader broke around 5pm. Ugh.
Then I had a Board of Trustees meeting immediately upon arriving home. This was the first of two meetings this month, and it wore two hats. The first part was to take care of the unfinished agenda from the March meeting (where we ran 15 minutes overtime before throwing in the towel and calling it a day), and the second was to appoint an interim minister search team. We were very successful at part 1. We were a little less successful at part 2, in that we decided A) we are appointing two Board members and three members of the congregation at large, B) we chose the two Board members in question, and C) we authorized EXCO to appoint the three other people... but we didn't actually choose the three other people yet. This was mostly because we have yet to hear back from all the people we sounded out, but still. I just want this to be DONE.
And then I was very good and efficient and wrote up my little draft "sense of the meeting" summary and sent it round for edits so we can get it into the newsletter and the midweek announce. I also have the minutes in pretty decent shape -- they will need one more pass to make sure I haven't mis-phrased anything or left anything out, but that shouldn't take more than five minutes. That's important, because I'd like to have the minutes ready to approve at next week's meeting!
Thank goodness we already have the agenda in place. EXCO set both agendas last week because otherwise this month would have been a screaming horror of disorganization and no time. If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
