** MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD ** ACCT Philly’s annual meeting will be April 16, 2018. Due to the recent changes in board members we felt we needed just a little more time to make sure all board members are on the same page and up-to-date on events. We hope everyone involved understands the need to move the meeting back a couple of weeks. In the meantime please feel free to send any questions or concerns to acctboard@acctphilly.org, and we will promptly respond.
Agenda: The Open Annual Meeting will take place from 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Meeting notes will be prepared and responses to any unanswered questions or issues will be posted to the ACCT website within 10 days of the meeting.
ACCT Philly Attendees: At least one board member and members of the ACCT Executive Team will attend the meetings.
Process:The Board welcomes questions from the public ahead of the meeting, which can be sent to acctboard@acctphilly.org. We appreciate the public’s feedback, questions and concerns, and will do our best to address them during the Open Annual Meeting. Due to our two hour time limit, however, please understand that not all emailed questions may be addressed during the meeting.
Any person who would like to speak must sign in and include their e-mail address. Commentary will only be heard in order of sign up and each person will have no longer than 5 minutes, this will allow approximately 14 people to speak.
Any individual that starts yelling, threatening the staff, cursing, or becoming belligerent will be asked to leave. All commentators with minor concerns will be directed to address concerns with Vincent during open office hours or through e-mail if they cannot be answered on the spot.
The board will commit to sending a recap and answer to questions that no answer was immediately available for.
Other Opportunities: Individuals may also discuss items during the Executive Director’s regularly scheduled open office hours which are every 3rd Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM or through email.
