Jenny is the new ED of Arts Center and would <br /> serve on our board and the Visitor board. <br /> o Board recommended a motion along these lines based on final wording by Katie and <br /> approval from appropriate county officials — "Non residents may be allow to serve on the <br /> OCAC if a majority of their work supports the arts or artists in Orange County." <br /> o Motion: We give Katie permission to request an amendment to our bylaws to allow non- <br /> resident exceptions. <br /> ■ Fred Moved and Anita seconded the motion. <br /> ■ All were in favor. <br /> • Paying board members for service — <br /> o Now that we have an arts space and more arts programming situations have arisen where <br /> our board members deliver arts within these programs. Katie would like to be able to pay <br /> board members for this professional work. However, the County strongly recommends that <br /> we cannot pay board members so nothing Katie can do to move this item forward at this <br /> time. <br /> o The board discussed that this is another issue that causes difficulty with keeping working <br /> artist on the board. <br /> • Board vacancy update <br /> o Tori Danielik resigned as UNC liaison <br /> ■ Crystal leads an arts integration group of all the UNC arts departments. She <br /> volunteered to work with that group to identify a student that could serve in this role. <br /> ■ Board discussed not immediately filling this position and instead allow Crystal time <br /> to work with her arts group to identify a student that could get approved around May <br /> and serve through the next academic year. <br /> o Linda made motion to support the above approach and John seconded All approved. <br /> • There are two vacant seats on the board from Sarah and Brad's resignations. <br />
