They contain documentation of all committee activity since the previous report to the board and also will include any recommendations that the board is requested to consider at that meeting. Certain recommendations may have been accepted, declined, or modified by the Board of Directors; therefore, please review the Executive Summaries of the board of directors' meetings to confirm the status of all committee proposals.
