Motion to the OADG Board of Directors
Any OADG member may bring forward a motion to the OADG Board of Directors. Prior to the development of the motion, the idea must first be discussed with the relevant OADG Director to get their initial approval to work up the idea more fully into a motion. The full substance of the request must be delivered to the relevant director at least 2 weeks prior to a regular Board meeting. This is to allow the director to prepare an official motion and to send it to all other Board members, at least 1 week ahead of the meeting, for study purposes.
Please see the Contact page for OADG Directors’ email addresses.
