Brian met in person with 2 candidates and would like to move forward with both. Glenn is meeting with one later this month.
Mara brought forth a candidate currently on the Strategic Planning Committee. She will get Brian's feedback and follow-up with the candidate if appropriate.
Matt will speak with Luciana about her referrals to see if any of them will be current parents in the coming school year and follow up with them if appropriate.
The Committee is enthusiastic about an alumni/DEI referral from Sonia. Nicole will ask Sonia for an introduction.
Tiffany will speak at the next alumni meeting about participating in Parker governance be it on the Board, a sub-committee, or special projects like fundraising or marketing.
The Committee discussed perhaps having special advisors to the Board. Ideally someone we would like to join the Board but they don't have the time or resources to commit to a three-year term. Hopefully could lend their skills and experience to particular needs and advise.
