TERMS & TIME COMMITMENT
Meetings normally take place on weekday afternoons downtown or in the Lloyd District, a minimum of five times per year. (The committee is currently meeting every other month virtually with Zoom, which we plan to continue until further notice.) Members will serve a 2 to 3-year term. Members are expected to prepare for meetings on their own time, and arrive ready to discuss meeting materials and agenda items. Meeting materials may be sent with minimal time to review, potentially as few as 72 hours in advance.
