Motion:

Whereas the current DIRA Funding Application Policy doesn't adequately address the occasional but very real need to very quickly submit a funding application, and Whereas at least one Denman organization (DICES- The Denman Island Community Education Society) has language in its Policies and Procedures that does address this contingency,
Be it resolved that the following language be added to the DIRA Funding Application Policy:
If the Executive or a DIRA sub-committee must respond rapidly to a request for applications from a funding body in order for DIRA to be considered for funds, the Chairperson may authorize the specifically responsible Executive member or Committee Chairperson to apply to such funding agency and the Chairperson will report to the Executive and General Membership at the next regular meeting.
