June Board Assessment Review/Update
The follow-up bi-annual internal BoT assessment will be distributed at the next BoT meeting for completion. This will be the same assessment the BoT members filled out last fall. CoT will analyze for trends and report out. Next year, the assessment will be performed by an external evaluator.
C.
Items for CoT in 25-26
Examine and improve recruitment strategy for new RVCS BoT members.
A recap of the Board Retreat was given by E. Irose and C. Getz.
Key takeaways were the following:
- Board Members in attendance were very positive regrading the retreat.
- The facilitator was very effective and perhaps could be brought in to help with other large administrative projects that require many group stakeholders (e.g. Strategic Plan Planning)
- Reinforced that fewer Board/ committee meetings could accomplish all necessary tasks, perhaps making Board Membership more attractive to prospective members of the RVCS community.
- Three goals emphasized coming out of the meeting to be worked on during the next BoT meeting.
