Board Elections [Lauren]

suggestion: replace Board meeting immediately after Detour with open house, so that prospective candidates can get an idea of what Board does [Lauren]

Detour badge transfers

Board cannot do much about scalping via transfers, as it is technically legal
option to replace transfer policy with waiting list is determined at convention level, not Board level
