To help keep business meetings short (15 to 30 minutes), it is strongly suggested that if members have a suggestion for additions or improvements for the club, they make them first to the appropriate committee or in the case where there is no committee, directly to a board member for discussion and recommendation to the general membership. In most cases, a suggestion made at a club meeting will be referred to a committee or the board first for discussion and a recommendation before being referred back to the general club membership for a vote.
