Is there a typical consensus based process used? >> We formed our board by gettng one member from each committee (6 committees) and asking for either one or three at-large members. Each committee chose the way they wanted to and only one person volunteered for the at-large position. If more than one person on a committee wanted to be on the board, they were to talk it out between them first, consensus-style, but I don't know if that ever happened. I was the only volunteer from our committee. Having each committee represented helps a lot. Committees get feedback from the other committees and questions and issues from the board can get back to any committee. If the rep from a committee can't go to a meeting, they get someone from their committee to go. The board positions last 3 years. However, in order to stagger them, the first board members have 1, 2 or 3 years terms. After the first term for each position, it goes to 3 years. That way, there are always experienced people on the board.
