The executive board should meet to discuss and review business matters as well as issues that may be sensitive in nature. Often, you will discuss matters at a level of detail that would be too much for a general meeting. As an example, you may want to discuss the relationship with your fundraising reps at a level of detail that you wouldn't discuss at the general meeting. You'd also discuss relationships -- maybe folks are complaining about a particular committee chair -- and come up with your strategy as a board to handle it .
The general meeting is to provide status reports and updates on ongoing projects, financials, and other new business that folks may have.
I was wondering if anyone had some good guidance around the difference between what should happen at the PTO executive/leadership/board meeting and what should happen at the PTO general meeting.
Are there any decisions that are appropriate for just the board to make (i.e., choosing a fundraiser based on 2-3 recommendations)? Or should everything be brought to the full PTO for a vote.
We don't have anything about this in our bylaws....wondering if we should add or if it is okay to remain in procedures?
