The OCMA Board and planning committee members will meet on December 12, 2007 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Latham & Watkins Orange County office,650 Town Center Drive,20th Floor,Costa Mesa CA 92626, phone 714.540.1235. The following are topics we would like to discuss:
- Speakers: status of efforts to line up speakers for 2008. We hope to focus on local business and government leaders who share and can incorporate into their speeches our vision of "growing moral and ethical leadership around the world. The BYU Marriott School will fly in an MBA Professor once a year at no cost to us for a "Dean's Seminar."
- E-Mail Lists: we would like to collect as many e-mail lists as we can to publicize our events. Please e-mail your list to me in a spreadsheet format.
- One Page Business Plan/Committee Chairs:
- Luncheons;
- Ward/Stake Chapters;
- Career Night;
- Entrepreneurs' Conference;
- Employment;
- Website/Photo Directory (JRCLS example);
- Community Outreach (Inland Empire Chapter has co-hosted events with the University of Redlands Banta Center for Business, Ethics & Society, including having Dean Ned Hill and Associate Dean Steve Albrecht, who spoke on, "White Collar Crime and Fraud"
- Sponsors (JRCLS examlpe);
- Membership.
- Committments: We need everyone who is going to be a board member to make a committment to either Chair a committee or be a Co-Chair. Each Chair/Co-Chair needs to write a One Page Buesiness Plan (or their own alternative) on what their goals are for 2008 and how they will accomplish them.
- Succession: We not only need a new Chair, Chair-Elect, Secretary and Treasurer, we need to rotate those who have served two years or more to newer people over the next one year. After a 2 year term, the Chair-Elect becomes the new Chair, the Secretary becomes the Chair-Elect, etc. We should have a 2-year term for each position, including Board members and everyone needs to groom a successor.
- Report Back and Next Meeting: I recommend we spend $250 for an official One Page Business Plan website (I will demonstrate this at the meeting) which allows for online tracking of progress towards our goals and full accountability. We will review progress at each Board meeting. If you are a Chair and cannot attend a Board meeting, you should either send a representative from your committee or provide a written report exlpaining progress and any obstacles and course corrections. As President Monson says, "When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates." June, 1977 New Era
