[Lnc-business] heads-up

[Alicia Mattson]

Colleagues,

I am in receipt of the Audit Committee report and will be forwarding those
documents on after I send this message.

I would like to say something first, based on closely watching others in
LNC meetings for two terms and serving on it myself for two terms.

*These are documents that you need to read in advance of the meeting.*

Many committee reports are a couple of pages, and if we're in a rush the
week before the meeting, we might just be able to skim them quickly during
the meeting and get up to speed on what we need to know.

I see this report is longer than that, and it contains a lot of supporting
details.  The Audit Committee will not have the luxury of time to explain
these details to us from the ground up during the meeting.

If board members don't read these materials in advance, our meeting will
likely get bogged down with trying to educate the board about the
underlying facts, when we should instead be discussing implications of the
facts we've been given already and asking our questions not already
addressed in the report.

If we don't read this in advance, we'll certainly waste some time during
the meeeting, and we may ultimately make uninformed decisions, which would
be a shame.
