Board Recruitment Pipeline

Through recruitment efforts, we have received 12/13 applications. Candidates are interested in a range of positions. We will be filling 3 positions: Co-development chair, Co-strategic chair, 1 at-large members. Board recruitment began in March 23', applications will be accepted from March-April, interviews will occur in May, voting for new members will be in June, orientation in July. 

 

Interview process: A small candidate review committee will meet to determine the best two to three candidates for each role based on the skills we need, Christie and Drew will conduct a 1:1 interview with each of these candidates. In a June meeting, the candidates will pitch themselves to the full board who will also be able to ask questions. Then using an off-line election software, the board will vote on the new members who will be presented at the June board meeting.
