This is a suggested SCCO board policy to establish a “formal” email voting protocol, Please discuss in comments below. This is for motions that do not require extensive discussion or are time-critical.

I. Making the Motion.

1. SUBJECT: All email requests for a votable proposal should start with “SCCO Board Motion Request,” this may be followed with “Urgent” but only if truly so. A brief title of the motion being called in the subject may also help the reader. [Please do not alter the subject for the duration of the motion so email threads remain complete.]
2. BODY HEAD: please state, in full, the motion being proposed, include the full name of the” mover” (“I, [name], move that…”)!
3. DATE CERTAIN: Given that the motion is seconded, final voting is required to be completed by this date.
   Noting else is required but,
4. BODY ADDITIONAL CONTENT: If the request is marked urgent, explain why in as few words as practicable (date sensitive, time critical, deadline pending, etc.)
5. OPTIONAL: Discussion detailing the proposal, if warranted or needed. Hopefully the stated motion is self-contained.
6. ATTACHMENTS: supporting documents if applicable.

II. Entertaining the Motion.

1. Wait for the move to be seconded.
2. If a second is not forthcoming in a day or so, the proposer may advocate for a second among fellow board members.
3. Once seconded, the motion is on the table for discussion.
4. Amendments may be proposed, discussed and voted on. Make sure the word AMENDMENT is included at the top of the message body. Include the full motion and the amended language or changes being proposed.

III. Calling the Question

1. Once the motion (including amendments) is finalized the vote is in play.
2. BODY HEAD: Make sure the words “SCCO BOARD VOTE,” are at the top of the message body.
3. A majority of board members must vote within 14 days, or by the given date certain deadline, otherwise the motion expires.

Hello!

We are a grassroots local nonprofit working to empower 6 – 9th grade youth through Black-centered programming. We are hoping to build our network and get the word out to families.

Please help us spread the word about our drive-thru Kick-Off Event on Friday September 17th from 4:30 – 6pm. We will be giving out FREE backpacks and school supplies and a free take home dinner!

If you know a family who could benefit from Black-centered programming please pass this along and feel free to share this information with any of your networks. Families can fill out this survey to get a backpack customized to their needs. There is also a link to the survey in the flyer.

We are currently putting together our Fall programming called Cultural Conversations. To stay up to date please join our mailing list at: www.wearekidsfortheculture.com

Thank you so much for supporting black centered programming and empowerment for youth.
