Agenda

Budget concerns and compliance with the feedback received from Program Officer
Addition of an honorary member with subjective experience to the Board.

Recommendations

Maintaining the health of DCW through resource access is essential for its long-term sustainability and growth. Non-compliance with feedback will lead to the loss of mandatory resources. (Ratio: 60%/40%)
The Program Management role will be retained; however, the associated compensation will be reduced by approximately 23%.
We should be transitioning all communication functions to community volunteers, offering an honorarium of up to INR 200 per graphic. The paid roles should be discontinued
We should eliminate the Conversation Hour Lead role and integrating its duties into community volunteer positions, offering a monthly support of INR 6000
We should also pause the Graphic Internship Program.

Vote and adoption

The resolutions passed with the affirmative votes of Aafi, Ariba, Samiya, and Ikhlas. Faiz was absent during the vote. Meeting the quorum requirements, this is a binding resolution and can only be amended through a board vote.
