I will spend the next four hours drafting the "Roles and Responsibilities of Board Members" and the Roles of a DROID Launch Specialist for the revised by-laws of INSTAR Lab Inc. I'll start by reviewing the current by-laws to pinpoint any gaps or ambiguities in the existing roles. Then, I'll research best practices for board member responsibilities in similar organizations, taking notes on key elements to include. My goal is to create a clear and detailed draft that outlines specific duties, expectations, and accountability measures for each board position. By the end of this focused session, I’ll ensure my draft has updated at least the Roles of a DROID Launch Specialist and is ready for an initial review by a colleague. I will also collaborate with team members on other departments such as WE and how the changes in the By-laws will affect its Funding Strategy.
