Dr. Celepcikay reminds the board that Dr. Osman Kanlioglu "Dr. K" will be resigning from the HPS Board of Directors and discussed Dr. K's contributions to HPS which included assisting with the opening of Art and Technology campus, alumni organization, STEM and higher education.
Dr. Celepcikay states the governance committee identifies potential candidates, meets with candidates and brings candidates to the full board's attention. Dr. Celepcikay reviews potential candidates with the committee members and reviews possible times to meet with candidates in the near future. The committee agrees they will meet in person with candidates to give a campus tour and then interview the candidate following the tour. During this meeting the candidates will be informed of the requirements for HPS Board members which include attending board meetings, being part of a committee, attending the annual retreat, and donating to HPS. The goal of the committee is to have a possible candidate brought to the boards attention in either February or March at the latest.
