T. DeLoach provided the Committee with an update on the onboarding of the two new Trustees. 

G. Fortes requested that all Trustees complete the survey within a week of next week's Board Retreat so that the Committee has a comprehensive view of all member skills and demographics. 

E. Darrow will send out the survey again. 

M. Bride will need to resign from the Board effective immediately due to a change in her professional role. 

G. Fortes met with C. Chambers regarding next week's Board Retreat. All preparations have been made. 

T. DeLoach discussed with the Committee that she would like to engage with the Board and other stakeholders to create a new strategic plan for Alma del Mar. 

Committee members voiced support to move forward with the creation of a new strategic plan. 

T. DeLoach will bring this topic to the full Board to make them aware of these next steps and to solicit their support. 

D. Prentiss noted that he would also like to include the Advisory Council in the strategic planning process. 

D. Prentiss stated that he is planning to continue as Chair for two years, but that we do want to ensure a strong transition plan for the organization. D. Prentiss will work with other Trustees this year to identify possible successors. 

C. Bator mentioned that his role as Vice Chair could be considered as a way to formalize the training for a future Board Chair and that he would be willing to step down from that role as needed to support succession planning. 

D. Prentiss mentioned that he will begin speaking with Trustees regarding finding an updated day and time for Board meetings so that all Trustees can attend.
