Board Organizational Guidelines Project

This work was done “with” and not “for” Gregory. He provided drafts of policies and was responsive and collaborative in reviewing edits. He welcomed ideas regarding content and approaches to organizing board policies and procedures. Gregory was easy to work with and appreciative of the process we used to produce the board manual.
