The trustee responsibilities and commitment agreement, a document all new trustees are asked to sign, has been updated with revised language and information reflecting board governance best practices and the current norms and expectations of the board.

As discussed at the July meeting, the co-chairs propose the adoption of a yearlong board calendar to govern the key topics of discussion, important votes, and other matters at each Board meeting throughout the year. Board Members are invited to propose topics for inclusion in the yearlong calendar, to be finalized with the Executive Director between the August and September meetings and formally adopted by the board at the September meeting.
