Recruitment Activity for December BoT Meeting
In an effort to make and keep a pipeline in perpetuity, Brian asked that the committee put together a slide for the next board meeting that asks each board member to bring 5 names of people they know that might be good for board recruitment. Julie stressed these names should include a candidate that would be a good replacement for the individual board member. A breakout session at the following board meeting will use these names in a mapping exercise. The Governance Committee will then decide which committee member owns which names. The January Governance Meeting will be dedicated to prepping the members on how to run the breakouts.
Matt provided an update about recruiting a new Faculty trustee for next year. He stated that he and Tiffany reached out for volunteers and have not heard back yet.
Brian said he would talk to Katrina about potential alumni who currently serve on the Development Committee.
Several members of the Strategic Planning Committee should be considered for the Board. Brian will begin reaching out to them.
Nicole asked if we can approach current staff - particularly those in Div 1 - about parents they think would be interested in serving on a committee and the board. Matt and Brian will discuss and follow-up.
