Dr. Celepcikay informs the committee members that as the Governance Committee we are also the CEO Evaluation Committee.   He informs the members that he will release the CEO self evaluation to Mr. Ay through board on track and once completed by Mr. Ay, we will then release the evaluation to all board members.  It is our goal to have this completed by the June board meeting.  

Committee members agree that the target will be June board meeting to have the evaluation.

Dr. Celepcikay states we are holding this items as our long standing board member, Finance Committee Chair, and Governance Committee member Mr. Homer Stewart recently retired from the board.  It has been our practice to have three board members as part of the Governance Committee.  Ms. Helen Sherwood is a long standing board member and would bring a great perspective to this committee.  In regards to the Finance Committee, Dr. Mehmet Argin has been part of the committee and could now move to Finance Committee Chair.  It would also be beneficial to have our new board member, Kimberly House, as part of the Finance Committee to show her the strength of HPS finances and accountability.  Ms. House also has experience in grant writing which would be in line with finance as well.  Dr. Celepcikay informs the committee that he will reach out to the members regarding the recommendations.

The committee discussed the possible dates and locations of the annual Board Retreat.  

Date: September 29, 2023, September 30, 2023, and  October 1, 2023
