The Board completed their self-assessment and the board Chair and HOS met with BoardOnTrack coaches on October 28th to review the assessment.

The plan is to do another self-assessment in April or June of 2021 to evaluate growth, identify high needs areas to focus on, and plan for our first operating year.
Discuss the board's areas of highest need and determine a course of action for addressing those focus areas.
