Meeting time for GBA Board:
Tuesday mornings at 8:30 seem to work for most. First meeting will be held at 8:30am on Tuesday July 24, 2018 in Lisa’s office at Greenfield Savings Bank. David will look into us using the space at 170 Main St for future meetings once we have our schedule set. Everyone agreed that we do not need to have separate meetings for the different committee’s or a separate Ex-Comm meeting. We will re-evaluate the need for these meetings in the future. It was also suggested that we talk with the town to get a representative to come to the meetings as well as a member of the Town Council.
Our Mission:
Bill and Lisa are going to go through the GBA drawers at the Chamber Office to see if a there is any paperwork that will help us creating a mission statement. On Wednesday 7/18, that was done and a mission statement was found. Attached you will find the Rules of Operation for the GBA dated July 20, 2014, the mission statement is in Section II. We can use it or create a new one.
Projects for 2018:
