The task force responsible for updating the Docent Handbook also recently reviewed the docent Articles of Operation and made some amendments to bring that document up to date.   The amendments summarized below were approved by Docent Council at the April 9 meeting and are being shared with all docents before they are brought to CAC Board of Trustees on June 6.  The entire revised Articles of Operation draft may be found here.

If you have any questions or comments, please send them to John Schneider at jo**************@ma*.com by Friday, May 3.  Any additional edits will need to be reviewed and approved at the May 7 Docent Council meeting.

• • Article II. Docent Categories:  Changes in the language around docent requirements from “tour hours” to “tours”.
  • Article III. Docent Meetings: Changes to create a Docent Annual Meeting to be held in the first quarter of each year. The purpose of the meeting will be to introduce Docent Council representatives, officers, and committee chairs, to discuss strategic priorities for the coming year and to answer questions from docents.  This will be a new meeting, held in-person or virtually.  As a result, the current All Docent Day, held in the fourth quarter, will be focused on continuing education topics.
  • Article IV. Docent Council Representatives: Changes to separate the annual election of Docent Council representatives from All Docent Day.  The election will be run electronically and be completed by the end of November each year.
  • Article V. Docent Council Officers: Changes to clarify that nominations for Docent Council officers will be made from the twelve elected representatives between the November election and the January Docent Council meeting.
