Each seat has a three-year term, beginning January 1, 2016 and expiring 
December 31, 2018. The board meets 4 times a year, in February, May, 
August, and November, and board meetings alternate between Michigan and 
Indiana. The November meeting includes a two-day strategy retreat to 
review activity of the previous year, assess trends, and determine 
strategic changes to MCLS’s services. Newly elected board members are 
asked to attend the annual retreat. MCLS reimburses board members for all 
direct meeting expenses.
The MCLS board utilizes the Policy Governance Model developed by John and 
Miriam Carver. To learn more about Policy Governance visit the Policy 
Governance website (http://www.carvergovernance.com/). New board members 
will receive an orientation to Policy Governance prior to the board 
retreat.
