I'm also a fan of an initial business meeting where people can all voice their expectations for the coming year. If you, as president, say you want your group to be more organized and active, people will likely get on board and have some good ideas, and they'll feel like they are a part of it.

I totally agree with you about the regular business meetings. The positive result of that change is that the majority of the 12 people on the board understand that this is a
working board, not a causal advisory board.
What I hope to have at the next board meeting is the FINAL calendar for the 07-08 year. Our meetings are already set, so I hope that once the whole programming calendar is set, the brothers will see what a robust fraternal year should look like.
Slowly but surely, it's coming along.
(I do fully expect at least two board members to resign before too long, though)
