Task Force for implementing BFU-USA Board of Directors created
Olathe, KS: On Sunday, Aug. 16th, 2009, BFU-USA National Executive created the "Task Force for implementing the BFU-USA Board of Directors" as directed by the BFU-USA General Assembly during the Chicago Convention. The goal of the Task Force is to define how BFU-USA will appropriately implement a Board of Directors into its structure.
During the 2009 National Convention in Chicago, IL, the general assembly voted to include a Board Of Directors in BFU-USA's organizational structure. The definition of the Board's structure, composition and modus operandi was outsourced to this Task Force via the BFU-USA National Executive.
To achieve the above stated goal, the Task Force will:
- Review the existing draft document for the Board of Directors, as presented by the Constitution Committee at the Chicago Convention
- Review standard industry practice for BoDs for non-profits (including those of similar organizations)
- Review BFU-USA's core competencies (which include our unique cultural heritage among others)
- Determine the Board's structure, composition and modus operandi
- Determine how best BFU-USA can incorporate a Board of Directors into its structure (in terms of timing, approaching suggested BoD candidates, etc)
- Suggest potential candidates for the Board
- Present a draft document detailing its findings by December 16, 2009
- Present a final document by February 24, 2010.
The members of the Task Force below have been chosen because of their unique experience, capabilities, interests and commitment in seeing our organization succeed in its mission and vision. The National President reached out to each of them personally to seek their participation in this Task Force. The members of this Task Force are as follows, in no order of merit:

The first meeting of the Task Force is slated for Wednesday, Sept. 9th, 2009. The members of the Task Force will determine a Task Force Chair during this first meeting among other items on the agenda.
Please join us in wishing this Task Force success as the members embark on this maiden task to contribute towards making BFU-USA a better organization.
For, and on behalf of, BFU-USA
