Goals include board recruitment and retention, board succession planning, updated onboarding processes, board member development and learning plans focused on equity and effectiveness, and supporting ongoing commitment of board members to Equitas. The board also seeks to consider potential further alignment with advocacy efforts related to those of parents and alumni.
Recommendations included setting desired benchmarks in each of the final goal areas, and additional potential community and alumni engagement, possibly including additional membership.
