II. Governance Committee

A.

Board Savvy 101

Tracy and Henry took the training. It was good training but not specific to Governance. Talks to relationship between the ED and Board. Uso has not taken the training. Action item prior to December meeting. The training did address board assessment. Board on Track has the ability to assess Board Skills - just need to update information to generate the report. Henry will followup to see where skills can be entered. Once he has that he will have all board members update their skills.

 

The training also emphasized having a good board handbook which we do. We need to review the handbook.. Governance Committee is responsible for professional development on the board. Training also talked to ED support and evaluation. 

 

We should probably put together a taskforce for evaluation of the ED so that there is representation from various committees.
