I think that we, as a board, can use this. We need the guidance and related experience of other boards - the ARRL is unique, but we face the same issues that other boards have, particularly with our interaction with staff and the CEO. I've read articles from Boardsource though, and have had access to a subscription in the past. I haven't signed up, didn't even know we had an account, but would appreciate knowing how to do so.

All:
The annual subscription cost of Boardsource is $3,250. The first year’s cost was borne by a specific donation from a former Board member who is also a major donor. The renewal date is 3/26/20.
Of the current 35 volunteer members of ODV, only 18 ever registered so roughly half the Board. I can’t provide usage stats but as they say….”you can’t play if you don’t register”. In addition to the volunteers, about 14 HQ managers registered to use the site as well. Again, I can’t quote any usage stats for them either.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to answer them.

I was wondering if we were planning to continue our association with Boardsource. While I haven't myself been digging into all the material they have to offer, I do get something out of their daily mailings.
What do others think?
