Notes in preparation for our main meeting (esp. helpful for new or returning Representatives):
1) Representatives have been emailed 2 documents summarizing last year’s Council activities – an 2024-25 Annual Report and 2024-25 Evaluation Report – and draft of proposed Council work focuses for 2025-26. As NBFC uses Teams for program management (esp. the Posts and Files functions), here is a link to the Teams channel containing those documents: 0. General Info 2025-26 | NBFC | Microsoft Teams. Also there are several helpful “how to” documents related to serving on the Council. We will share a “NBFC Teams How-To” soon.
2) NBFC main meetings are run according to a (somewhat casual take on) Robert’s Rules of Order. A helpful “cheat sheet” can be found here: https://assembly.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/roberts_rules_simplified.pdf
3) The NBFC bylaws, revised November 2024, can be found here: https://nbfc.rutgers.edu/bylaws
