C. Board Governance
- Provide board members with written expectations for their service on the board
- The board meets a minimum of three times per year and maintains adopted minutes of each meeting
- Provide board members with sufficient and timely informational materials prior to each meeting to make informed decisions
- Board members evaluate their performance annually as a group and as individuals at least once every three years
- Adopt procedures for removing board members who are not fulfilling their responsibilities
- Have governing documents that contain policies and procedures (such as provisions for a quorum and adequate meeting notices) to encourage broad participation and to prevent a minority of board members from acting for the land trust without proper delegation of authority
