Committees
T. Fick discussed Finance and Academic (new) committees. Also, shared that we are recruiting two additional board members
T. Fick confirmed the clerical error. The Oct 2023 meeting was not officially adjourned in BoardOnTrack, so the Nov 2023 meeting's approval vote was attached to the wrong meeting minutes (Finance). T. Fick amended the Oct 2023 minutes in real time to adjourn the meeting, and the clerical error is now resolved.
No additional approval required.
