[Frameworks] Millennium Members & Friends Informational Meeting (bylaws revision presentation)

[Peter Kingsbury]

Members and friends of Millennium Film Workshop are invited to an Informational Meeting that will introduce proposed Bylaws revisions on Wednesday October 7 at 7:00pm.  The presentation with Q&A will be held in the Gallery of Brooklyn Fire Proof East, Bushwick.  This revision and restatement of the Bylaws, commissioned at the April 2012 Members Meeting, are intended to meet the letter and spirit of new state non-profit laws, strengthen Millennium’s governance and support, increase transparency and accountability, and enhance member participation.  This meeting will be an opportunity to learn why Bylaws revision is critical to Millennium’s future, and how this revision can move us ahead.  In a few weeks we will ask the members to vote their approval of these new bylaws.  Then elections will be held for our new expanded governing board.  At this meeting we will explain the new candidate recruitment process that will lead to the board election, and why it is central to Millennium’s new process of board development.  We will explain candidate expectations, and the diverse skills and life experiences Millennium seeks to build a stronger board.  Brooklyn Fire Proof East is located at 119 Ingraham Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn.  (Two blocks from the Morgan Ave station on the “L” subway line.)
