10/09 LB will rewrite job description
Liz’s proposal for the tasks of the Advisory Board
1) Provide one task per year to CMN (such as writing a fundraising letter, raising
money in other ways, helping assemble a media list, etc.). Task to be determined
individually for each Advisory Board member. Advisory Board would be listed on our web
page, PIO! and wherever else we are listing BOD members.
2) Offer advice to the current BOD on an as-needed basis.
3) Make every effort to attend our national conference and encourage others to do so.
A lunch on the Friday of the conference could be planned for Advisory Board members
with the BOD.
My view when | proposed the Advisory Board was that it would be composed of a small
group of longtime CMN members who've made significant contributions to the
organization. However, we might wish to consider bringing on a couple of individuals
who are prominent in the children’s music field who have not specifically been active in
CMN. In these cases, | think we’d need to have a member who knows that individual and
has a clear understanding of what that person might be able to offer us. We don’t just
want figureheads who have no particular responsibility to CMN, in my view.
