II. Business

A.

Discuss Board Training Topics for Board Meeting

- Discussion re: trainings led by governance committee at monthly CASA board meetings. 
- M. Tucker identified that it has been valuable for members of all experience levels. Members agree that individual benefit from broad topics. 
- Members agree that duration has been brief, which helps with memory/application. 
- T. Clayton Cundy suggested a long term tracker to repeat, possibly annually. 
- M. Tucker suggested planning meetings through June and assigning to members early. We could review monthly. 
- T. Clayton Cundy opened google doc: typed in Jan-March topics and presenters (Feb. - Michael - open meeting law; March - Emily - advocating for CASA; April - Emily - Taking Minutes). 
- M. Campillo suggested training on statutory requirements of governance (i.e. members are stewards of state money). 
- T. Clayton Cundy suggested training differentiating governance and management. 
- E. Jeffries suggested reminding board through training of difference would help maintain positive board culture. 
- Members discussed separate, brief meeting training on promoting CASA and explaining the necessary information to share CASA's success to the public. 
- Members updated spreadsheet through September, particularly advocating/promoting CASA in June and November. 
 

B.

Survey and Analysis of Current Board Member Skillsets and Future Needs

- E. Jeffries reported on tracker and shared that facilities, leases, systems/coding reported by fewer members. Legal/finance/marketing reported by most members. 
- Members agreed that board has skillset diversity (currently). 
- Members addressed racial diversity, and expressed that board may currently be less racially diverse. 
- Members suggested reaching out to other organizations that could bring diverse outlooks to the board (i.e. organizations already involved w/ CASA)
