Goals is to identify 3 people by June 2018 and 3 people by June 2019. Jessie asked the question regarding our new partner-Charter Board Partners: what is the role of the governance in this process with working with Charter Board Partners? Charter Board Partners will help us with recruiting, selecting and onboarding as part of the service. ExED has partnered with CBP to bring them to LA and will help use identify 2 board members, Equitas Board members training, and networking events. Communicate to the board what is the process and identify candidates. Spreadsheet idea was a good start. Can we ask each board member to set up one person to meet in the next week and set up a meeting with Malka.  Ron Olson as a connector and Bob Denim are contacts from Jesse we can meet. Let's have the conversation and get this started. Jesse will share this strategy with the board. Lindsay shared that there are some strong candidates where timing did not work out and discussed two members want us to revisit in 6 months. 

Reviewed the board nominating policy and will use to guide the governance committee recruiting activities. In the larger board meeting, will share the approach and next steps from the Governance committee. Lindsay asked Oliver to provide an update on the Board chair process. Oliver shared that advice provided by governance experts is to have a new chair identified from existing board members so Oliver proposed a co-chair process.
