GC recruitment efforts thus far have yielded no new board candidates or even interested prospects.
Before reviewing and revising the recruitment plan, we need to find success at step 1: generating interest. We need to start "where we're at."
GC discussed aligning with the DC to modify and better execute our approach to telling PCM's story, understanding public perceptions, and connecting with the community.
Several individuals and organizations were named as potential board candidates.
Vote on recruitment plan was tabled.
