8.1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0From the Chair<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.1.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Nominations for Officer elections are open until 15 minutes prior to the end of the meeting. \u00a0[See Item 11 below.]<\/p>\n

8.1.2. \u00a0 \u00a0Incumbent elected representatives must inform the PPCC Chair in writing prior to first Board meeting in June (6\/14\/18) if they plan to run for re-election as elected Area reps to the PPCC Board (Bylaws, Attachment A, Sec. 3.D.2). Failure to notify the Chair will result in the inability to stand for re-election.<\/p>\n

8.1.3. \u00a0 \u00a0Conflict of Interest Policy (comparison to City Boards and other NCs; the need for us to develop guidelines at PPCC). \u00a0Richard Cohen said the Bylaws Committee had considered this in years past and declined to pursue it. \u00a0Barbara Kohn affirmed that people did not wish to disclose their interests. Chair raised the idea of a conflict of interest form or policy that would be simple enough to be suitable for our board (of volunteers and otherwise professionals in life) yet dissuade conflict. She asked Lindsay Conner, Legal Advisor, to weigh in on the issue. Lindsay said he recognizes the countervailing concerns but believes a policy could be crafted to suit the board, and is within the Bylaws to do.<\/p>\n
