Topics of Discussion
Corrections in Policy Guide
In 2020 the Board of Directors eliminated the title of Chief Financial Officer, replacing this position with Controller. This change necessitated some rewrites in the Policy Guide. Some of these changes were dealt with in 2021 but a few remnants remained. The two policies requiring changes are:
- Delinquent Accounts/Bad Debt Write Off Policy (Chapter 1, Article 11)
- Insurance Claims and Litigation Policy (Chapter 1, Article 18)
These two changes will be voted on at the next Regular Board Meeting on April 20, 2022.
