District Resource Management Plan Summary Operating Guidelines

Representation and Size

• Members should have a district-wide perspective
• We will function with the currently elected six members and District Director, who will serve as chair. The District Administrative Assistant, Cathy Crandall, will serve as an ex-officio member and support person
• To ensure rotation half the team will serve for two years and the others for three. Following the first rotation, all will serve on staggered three year terms. The three to be rotated off in two years will be decided at a later meeting

Non-Cooperative Extension Representation

• The Team membership will consist of the elected members from the Distirct.
• WACEC board members and others will be kept informed of the DRM Team's work. They will also be involved as needed

Voting and Consensus

• The Team will use consensus as their main decision making tool
• If stalled by consensus, the group will seek further input and resort to a vote if needed
• All members will seek to avoid voting one interest over others.
• The District Director will make decisions in crisis situations

Resource Requests

• These can be made in a variety of ways- verbally to a committee member, electronically and/or in a narrative form. The DRM Team does not consider itself a granting organization but will allocate resources to important district priorities and in response to opportunities. Those wishing to request resources can prepare a brief concept paper indicating how the request meshes with District Priorities and/or how it will help the district.

Communication

• Anyone may attend our sessions, our information will be on our website, and the members will share information with their colleagues.

Miscellaneous

• We reaffirmed a commitment to open hiring in the District. All position vacancies or new positions will be filled through open posting.
