Board Member Recruitment

Need to recruit for facilities, finance, and governance experience, per our assessment.
Also discussed need for someone with policy/practice experience, and high net worth individuals or individuals with foundation experience.

Recruitment activities:
  • ask board members to source potential members, invite to gala
  • ask board members to send Kim 2-3 names of people who might be a good candidate or know a good candidate
  • source from Marci
  • source from other organizations supportive of board developments
  • ask corporations (ex. facilities company, go to HR, HGSE, law)
  • recruit successor
  • Kevin Mohan (Jeff Jablow follow up)
Jeff summarized the call with LFE. There is a $2500 fee for participation in the next year, however Kim and Jeff recommend making the decision based on policy vs. fee.

Need to follow up with LFE re whether we are locked in, if they can't find what we need/want.  Kim to follow up.
