The presiding officer who sets a tone of reasonableness and fairness, with equal regard for the rights of each member, will lead by example. In reinforcing the rules for the benefit of all, he or she will show the way and will provide a model the others will wish to emulate. A well-run meeting allows members to go away feeling glad that they came and gives them the satisfaction of having contributed something of value to the organization. Be a facilitator of meetings; don't "hold court." The Committee/Taskforce belongs to the Association, not the Chair. Open the meeting on time. Announce the business to be conducted. Stay with the agenda. Encourage an exchange of ideas, but not a clash of personalities. Good decisions are made when Committee/Taskforces examine all sides of an issue, but don't let members personalize the debate. Emotional discussion of an idea is good, but an emotional reaction to a person is bad. When emotions are too high, return the floor to a neutral person, seek a purely factual answer or take a break. Prevent one-sided discussions. Restate the issue to be voted on before calling for a vote; explain the consequences of the vote. Announce the results of actions taken and explain the follow-through to be taken and by whom. Help expedite business. Don't let discussions drift or go on too long. Don't let a person who is blocking constructive discussion ruin the Committee/Taskforce meeting for everyone else. Strategies for dealing with this behavior include confronting the person privately in a caring manner, pointing out the effects of the behavior, and suggesting alternative behaviors. Monitor participation; control talkative members and draw out silent members. Close the meeting on time. Seek the Committee/Taskforce's agreement regarding extending the meeting if necessary. 6/24/2015 58 | P a g e Conference Call Protocols Preparation 1. Decide who's in on the call. 2. Establish a clear set of desired outcomes. 3. Create and distribute an agenda. 4. Provide clear instructions on how to dial into the call. Facilitation 1. Designate a time-keeper and note taker. 2. Ask members to identify themselves each time they speak. 3. If a vote is taken, poll each member. 4. Watch the clock. 5. Consider alternatives for difficult issues. 6. Review assignments and close positively. Follow-up Immediately after adjournment, the Chair and Staff Liaison should meet briefly to agree on what follow-up actions are required and who is responsible for them. 6/24/2015 59 | P a g e Meeting Minutes Guidelines The Staff Liaison is responsible to work with the Committee Chair for the preparation of the meeting minutes. Report of the Committee Meeting The minutes are the official corporate record of what was done. As a general rule, such reports should contain only action items, with little or no discussion. Having in the report a discussion of reasons for actions can sometimes be useful in subsequent proceedings and meetings. However, these should be kept to a minimum since the effect of such discussions on litigation is impossible to predict. The meeting minutes of the Committee meeting should include: Date, time and place of meeting. Note Chairperson's name, members present and absent and other key people in attendance. All formal motions and passages or defeats. All decisions reached, including motions passed and follow-up actions to be taken, with deadlines for implementation. A brief summary of discussions. Do not attribute comments to members, except possibly where formal motions are introduced. Provide information on the time and place of the next meeting. Distribute the report to all Committee members, including those who did not attend, within 3-4 weeks of the meeting. Distribute the report with a statement to contact the Chair or Staff Liaison if errors are noted. 6/24/2015 60 | P a g e Meeting Agenda Format [Committee Name] Meeting Agenda [Date & Time] 1.

It is essential that we observe certain ground rules as we participate in this meeting. As you know, the Anti-Trust laws prohibit, or make highly imprudent, the discussion of a number of matters at a meeting such as this. The following subjects should not be discussed at meetings or elsewhere or be the subject of any type of agreement, whether formal or informal, expressed or implied, among competitors: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. prices to be charged; methods by which prices are to be determined; terms and conditions of sale, such as credit or discount terms; profit levels; whether another company’s pricing practices are unethical, improper, etc.; coordination of bids or requests for bids or proposals; production levels or schedules; division or allocation of markets, territories or customers; refusal to deal with a customer or supplier; approved list of customers or suppliers; and anything that could restrict free and open trade in the marketplace. Any departure from these ground rules could result in severe civil and criminal penalties to you as individuals, to your companies and to the NWFA. Federal sentencing guidelines mandate jail sentences for Anti-Trust violations and call for criminal fines that may range into the millions of dollars. If you have any questions about these Anti-Trust limitations, the office will be happy to give you a copy of the Association’s Anti-Trust Detailed Guidelines.” 6/24/2015 63 | P a g e
