The committee discussed the potential of adding a board member with political connections related to our charter renewal. No names came to mind.
The committee also discussed replacing 2 of the 5 seats with shorter terms in order to balance out the groups of term renewals so we have 3 members in each of the A, B, & C groups.
The committee landed on Ms. Tate reaching out to the 5 expiring members to inquire about their interest in serving another term and asking about their interest in serving a 1-, 2-, or 3-year term.
The committee also discussed seeking out additional committee members to help build a pipeline for future board members.
