ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to appoint the applicants. However, this is not recommended as the applicants have been brought forward in accordance with the approved Bylaws, have demonstrated an interest in the welfare of children in Solano County, and are prepared to dedicate their time to the SCA.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The membership appointments and alternates have been reviewed and recommended by the Executive Committee of the SCA.
