Board meeting prep

Our October board meeting focus will discuss the climate urgency and climate-related risks we face and what our organization can do to be part of the solution, and not the problem.

Please read the agenda and attached board reports and documents.

Our focus on the climate urgency is a big topic, so let's get our admin done before the meeting:

  1. Approval of minutes Poll

  2. Questions and approval of financial reports Proposal

  3. Resolution to approve a funding application to ACME Trust Proposal

  4. Resolution to approve our new terms of lease with our landlord Proposal

The polls and proposals are on Loomio for you to vote prior to our meeting.

Estoy interesado en entender más sobre los números de saldo y por qué son tan diferentes del mes anterior. @Jaiyush Devi

Thanks for your question Sanjay. The previous month included several one-off events, including a significant loan repayment. Here are the main contributors:

  • Repayment of $50k loan

  • $30k purchase of new assets

  • $15k office refurbishment costs

Thanks for preparing this thread Takashi. We have allocated a big part of the meeting for our focus topic, so I encourage directors to prepare for the meeting by reading the reports and resolutions, and engage in this thread and the proposals.

Looking forward to our meeting 🙏
