Multiple Action Items

I have a committee with multiple policy action items (8 total) As such, is there a motion to bundle these action items as a singular voting item instead of going line by line?

That can be done, provided that no one objects,  I would suggest that  the committee chair ask for unanimous consent that they be considered as a whole.

As I am the committee chair, Is there specific language I should use to have it considered as a whole / consent calendar? I.E. "I would like to make a motion to consider all action items as whole?" or something like that? Thanks!

Edit: I don't believe I can move these action items to a consent agenda as the board agenda has already been made public. (correct me if I am wrong of course!)

If your board has its own rules regarding the consent agenda, then those rules must be followed. I don't know what those rules provide.

Even if it is not permitted to place these items on the consent agenda, I believe it would still be in order to say "Mr. Chairman, if there is no objection, I request that the committee's recommendations be considered as a whole."

Outstanding! Thank you much for your help. Much appreciated!
