Briefing 
3. Discuss and Review Current Bylaws  
 Barbara Meyerson reviewed the current bylaws. There are some areas that should 
be updated. 
o One of the items to be updated is to look at changing the board membership 
from 11 members to 13 members. This is in Section 3.1(a).  
o Delete the sentence in Section 3.1(b) which mentions four Museum 
Foundation Board of Director members need to be Board of Director 
members of the Chandler Historical Society (CHS). Since the CHS has been 
sunsetted, this requirement is no longer needed.  
 Send recommendations of changes to Meyerson.

 The Draft Fiscal Year 2024-25 Museum Foundation Budget was reviewed.  
 Discussion ensued.  
 The draft budget will be brought forth as a Briefing Item to the full board at the 
February board meeting.  
 
5. Discuss and Review Draft Goal 3 of Strategic Plan Document 
 
 The goal format is similar to the format of the charters. 
 Joan Clark will combine all three goals into a Strategic Plan document and present 
the draft plan to the Strategic Planning Subcommittee for initial review. The Strategic 
Plan will then be presented to the Executive Subcommittee for review and 
recommendation to the full board for approval.

7. Workgroup Report-Outs 
 Some workgroups are not using the report-out form that was sent out and the 
distribution of the report-outs have not been consistent. Some Executive 
Subcommittee members received some of the report-outs, while other members did 
not receive the same ones.  
 It was decided to discuss this as a Briefing Item at the next Foundation Board 
Meeting. Areas to cover: 
o Remind workgroup members to use the report-out form. 
o Send the completed report-out to all Executive Subcommittee members and 
staff members, Jody Crago and Anna Camino. Staff will compile the report-outs 
and include them in the meeting packet that is sent out to board and/or 
subcommittee members prior to their respective meeting.  
 Report-outs which have been received will be compiled and all will be sent to the 
Executive Subcommittee members by Museum staff tomorrow.
