Guidelines for Membership Participation in CoDA Board Conference Calls
(Board meetings)

These guidelines are to facilitate the observation of interested members of the Fellowship in the Board of Trustee conference calls. The Board's use of teleconferencing on a monthly basis to conduct the business of CoDA is not intended to close the meetings, nor to conduct CoDA business in secret; it is intended as a money and time saving use of technology. The Board feels that its meetings should be open to the Fellowship and welcomes the interest and appropriate participation offered.

1. The CoDA Board will announce the date and time for the scheduled monthly conference calls of the CoDA Board in the CSR and on the CoDA Web Site.

2. Information that needs to be supplied by a member is: name, postal mail address, phone number they plan to call from (necessary to Identify actual charges), Email address (most timely, cost effective and preferred communication method).

3. Members agree to reimburse CoDA for the cost of their participation in the conference call. Recent conference calls have lasted approximately two hours and that translates to about $35.00 in phone charges. The Treasurer will advise the member of the amount due when the phone bill is received. Prompt payment is appreciated. Failure to pay will exclude member's participation in future calls until charges are paid.

4. It is at the discretion of the Board as to whether or not participants will have a "voice" during the call. This is based on the time constraints that we have and whether or not a participant has specific information or expertise on a subject under consideration.

5. Those members agreeing to the above conditions and wishing to be notified and given access to the Board conference call should:

send Email to:board@coda.org

or Postal Mail to:

CoDA
Attn.: Treasurer,
P.O. Box 33577
Phoenix, AZ 85067

The Board would like to receive requests for participation seven days in advance of the conference call. Postal mail will take up to fourteen (14) days to reach the treasurer. An attempt will be made to accommodate requests received later.
