Discuss DRAFT goals for the GC:

Governance Committee
  1. Work with the Strategic Planning Committee, CEO and Managing Director of Strategy & Planning to oversee execution of the approved strategic plan.
  2. Identify, cultivate and interview potential new board members, including Leadership Counsel (LC) and Young Friends (YFs) members, who: (a) add diversity more reflective of the demographic of KPPS’ student population from the professional and philanthropic community; and (b) support KPPS’ strategic, development and academic needs.  This will include a focus on competency when identifying potential board members (and will also include membership and roles within the LC and YFs).
  3. Develop and implement Board and board member evaluation process.
  4. Facilitate the Legal RFP review and selection process.
