The Board of Directors had their first meeting of 2015 on January 27.  Here’s what was discussed:

• The strategic priorities for the next three years (as determined at the annual planning session) were reviewed and refined. These items form the basis of the Board and Operational work and prioritize the goals of the Association.
• The member-submitted questions about the Regionalization initiative were discussed and the Board provided input to staff about additional questions that they would like to see addressed.
• The committee placements for the Board and Standing committees were made and approved, save for the Audit and Nomination committees. The Board will be reviewing the mandate and composition of these two committees and volunteers will be appointed in April.
• The voting delegates for CREA and OREA were appointed.
• The Home Price Index was considered and, given the positive feedback from members who attended two focus groups and a drastic reduction in the cost to implement, the Board voted to move forward with implementation.
