NOTE:
Prior to the By-Laws changes by the board, board members who missed three or more consecutive
board meetings were to be dismissed from the board of directors.
Since this chart was released, the 'Olelo board at the 12/97 meeting changed the By-Laws again,
reducing the number of required "open" board meetings, from about one meeting a month,
down to only four open board meetings a year.
