OTA member Board meeting attendance policy
OTA welcomes members to attend and observe its meetings. The Board strives to move efficiently through each meeting's agenda. If a member observing the meeting would like to make a comment or ask a question, OTA will strive to accommodate this request. The member is encouraged to raise his/her hand or to pass a note to the Board President with the request summarized. The Board President, as facilitator of the meeting, will seek to allocate Board time and attention to the member's request. It would be at the discretion of the Board President to decide whether the question or comment can be addressed during the meeting or needs to be followed up at a later time.
Executive Session
Issues deemed confidential by the Board shall be discussed in closed, executive session with attendance and participation by non-Board members only by invitation of the Board.
Phone Meetings
Meetings of the OTA Board conducted via conference call are not open to member attendance/observation. However, the same protocol and process for requesting time on the meeting agenda (outlined above) apply to conference call meetings of the Board.
