II. Committee on Trustees

A.

Prepare Board Assessment Survey for Distribution in May

For a more detailed analysis, CoT will issue the corresponding sections of the board assessment tool via invite email link to each committee for their members (not Trustee members) to fill out. The technical issue is that only one assessment can occur at a time (confirmed with Board on Track rep) so we will have to create short assessments for each committee, only open for a short amount of time, so that we can have the full assessment available to be taken by the full BoT before the end of the year.
