Parking will be validated only for the CFB building parking structure. There are several items that are on the agenda for the upcoming meeting.

The upcoming fundraising drive to support the 2022-2023 operating budget will also be discussed. The CFB annual report, which addresses our accomplishments for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, needs to be reviewed and voted on by the board before it is shared with our stakeholders.

If you have not already done so, please make sure that you have reviewed the board orientation documents, including requirements for membership on the board, policies for members of the board, and the CFB’s whistleblower and conflict of interest policies.
