Wait to be recognized by the Chair, which is the supervisor, to approach the podium to voice your concern.
Speak clearly into the microphone.
Give you name and address after being acknowledged. If requested, please spell your last name.
Please be courteous.
Speak directly to the Chair. The proper procedure at a Board meeting is to address others at the table or other speakers “through the Chair”.
State your issue clearly and succinctly.
Be specific. Make your announcement or address your concern, what was done or what you have already tried to do, and specifically what you want to see done to resolve the issue.
Stay within the allotted time frame, when directed by the Chair.
