Board discussions: New Board Members, Charter Promises Document & Onboarding Manual
1. New board members are actively being sought. Our goal is to have two new members by the end of the year. A one-page recruitment flyer is nearly finished, needing only the FIRST information on it. J. Paquette will complete. The primary skillset being sought is as a developer, with a lawyer also being a needed. A person with skills in creation/management of a business would also be an asset. The emphasis is on Board (governance) skills, as opposed to those in education.
A flyer is also needed for recruitment. L. Lewis will have one ready for next Board meeting.
2. The onboarding checklist for new Board members is on Board on Track. Everyone is asked to review it.
3. The "due-outs" checklist (list of things the Board needs to track) is also on Board on Track in the Governance folder. Please review.
4. Charter promises document: Draft is due next month; final document to be complete by March. This will help to set goals and keep organized.
