  • B Schilling suggested to contact the State department to ask for a more specific checklist guiding compliance. She suggests both a call and an email.

  • This item has been a priority for a while that R. Keller wants to address now. 
  • R. Keller suggests that a portion of this can be done by the board, not so much in detail but a section of the compliance compact. There are some links provided in the compact that provides  more guidance. 
  • B. Schilling suggest to check the links that are listed on the compact to seek clarity and specificity and then submit to an attorney for revision and finalization of the document and get a quote of the project to consider investing in professional help. 
  • R. Keller suggest that staff monitors some of these components

• R. Keller stated that it is important to present on the front end of recruiting board members the time commitment necessary to fulfill their role at the board.

• Dr. Thomas suggested to inquire more about potential board members' time availability to better understand the time constrains

• Ann Kock has finance knowledge and she could be a great support for that area. 
• K. Katner suggests that staff members are assigned to each of the committees to contribute. 
• Some committees don't have a lot of voting going on and we should look at the way things are recommended and voted on from committees to the entire board.

Dr. Thomas is asking what else is left for the latest potential board member Ms. Kock. 
R. Keller stated that she only has to attend a full board meeting to be in fully compliance.
