Please review and be prepared to discuss our skills assessment. This will help us define the parameters of our board expansion plan, which we will draft subsequent to this discussion (next month, as Phase II).  During today's meeting, we will simply define our needs over time.  We need to consider total number of trustees, skills, diversity, and other priorities.  Our goal is to leave the meeting with these goals clearly articulated.
