ASAE Board Approves Governance Changes With Few Modifications:
Following a comprehensive governance study and member comment period, the ASAE Board of Directors has approved changes to ASAE’s governance system to address organizational needs and also better serve as a model for other associations.
The approved changes are essentially the same as proposed by a Governance Task Force following a March 22 ASAE board meeting. However, the task force did carefully consider more than 300 member comments before finalizing recommendations for board action. The deadline for member comments ran through April 30.
Based on the comments, the task force recommended two modifications to the original recommendations. They are:
1. That consultant members of ASAE be eligible to serve on the board through nomination and election to the nine at-large board member seats; and
2. That, after three years, the board will review all governance changes and evaluate their effectiveness.
