  1. GROW will establish an annual roll call.

    GROW will do an annual roll call; however, GROW needs to determine who will lead the roll call. Options include the Secretary, the List Keeper (who are already very busy), or the Chair.

    As for points 3 and 4, the members feel these require further discussion regarding how these suggestions would be implemented for GROW. It was agreed that a subcommittee would be formed to work on these points and bring the suggestions to our October business meeting.

    At the conclusion of the April Business Meeting, ten members provided their thoughts and votes regarding the last agenda item. The outcome is summarized below:
