Members Report Review
- GC should review bylaws and meeting minutes to determine when board terms officially start and end.
- Four board terms end in June 2023. This fact will guide recruitment efforts. Will board members extend?
- GC will ask board members about intentions to seek additional term six months prior to expiration of current term.
- Recruitment goal should prioritize governance experience. Would the Pullman Chamber of Commerce be a good source of such experience?
- The next two board members should be strong in human resources, governance, and development experience. Seek to maintain board diversity.
