Solicit volunteers for this ED Cmte

 

According to my Action Plan email - This would be a group for direct Executive Director support - a group to push and pull on ideas that need to move quickly or could use additional thought partnership. Similar to the CEO Committee that previously existed, this group would be a smaller, more nimble group to serve as easy and direct access to the ED.

 

Two to three Trustees, preferably outside of already appointed officers, who I can quickly call on for thought partnership and support as I lead.  In addition to my biweekly check-ins with Ursula, this group would convene for further thought-partnership and additional governance perspective on the work ahead of all of us. 

 

 

 
  C. Meeting Time Consideration Vote Sarah Lewis 5 m
   

Moving from Bimonthly to Monthly

 

According to my Action Plan email - A more frequent meeting schedule will allow more frequent touchpoints and opportunities to share and build trust with one another.  Even if we do not use the whole time each month, I believe it is critical to my success, the Board’s development, and shared  transparency into decision making impacting the school, that we convene monthly during this first year of my leadership.

 
VI. Closing Items 8:10 PM
  A. Adjourn Meeting FYI 5 m
