2. Does your Board of Directors set the policies for your agency? <br />Yes, the Board of Directors sets the policies of the agency in addition to providing fiscal oversight, <br />individual expertise, strategic planning, advocacy, fundraising assistance, and financial support. <br />3. Is there a quorum requirement for Board members attendance at your agency board meetings? <br />Yes, the quorum requirement is stipulated in the by-laws indicating that "One-third of the total number of <br />Directors at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting." <br />Currently there are 19 members on the 211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast Board of Directors. In the last <br />15 years, we have only had two meetings that did not have a quorum. <br />4. Please explain the rotating volunteer structure of your Board members and officers. <br />The by-laws do not stipulate a rotation of members but indicates that board members serve three year <br />terms. We have found that through natural attrition we lose board members, and, therefore, generally <br />have 50% members who have 5 or less years of service and 50% who have over 5 years of service on <br />the board of directors. <br />In relation to the officers, generally the Chair serves two one year terms with elections occurring annually <br />in June. The Vice Chair generally moves into the chairmanship after the two one-year terms of the Chair. <br />175 <br />
