Board Update: <br /> • Linda moved,Tinka seconded the intention to extend Doris' board service term for 12 <br /> months prior to the end of her second term. (Note: term ends September 30, 2019.) <br /> Motion approved. <br /> • Current OCAC by-laws do not specify officer term limits. In this event, the by-laws of the <br /> Orange County Board of County Commissioners Advisory Board Policy apply. These by- <br /> laws stipulate a one-year term for officers and we are out of compliance. It was agreed <br /> that we should amend our by-laws to include officer term limits. Three years was <br /> suggested. In the interest of best practices of board governance,we should make a plan <br /> to correct this situation soon. <br /> IV. Director's Report: <br /> • Katie circulated a sign-up sheet for County Commissioners'Art Moment. <br /> • Katie was invited to speak at a small gathering of community leaders at a fundraising <br /> dinner for UNC's Arts Everywhere. It's excellent that OCAC is top of mind with leaders in <br /> the community. <br /> • The "Setting the Stage" report is out! Katie has distributed it widely to elected officials, <br /> chambers, economic development, etc.This extensive overview of the state of the arts <br /> in Orange County has determined OCAC's goals and Katie's priorities for the coming <br /> year: <br /> • Fulfill role as Local Arts Agency and provide programming needs <br /> • Apply for NCAC New Realities Grant(due March 1, 2019) <br /> • Build relationship with Caterri Woodrum, retired Director of NCMA Foundation <br />
