[Board] board budget 2018

[Jody Garnett]

During the campaign period several ideas were mentioned; now would be the
time to plan for them.

For my part I would love it if our committee chairs could join the board
for a f2f meeting. Doing so would necessitate an increased travel budget -
say changing from $15k to $20k. I have not heard a positive response from
committee chairs so I am not sure if the idea should be followed up.

Are their any ideas or changes that board members would like to pursue in
2018 that we can plan for now?
