Committee discussed board recruitment process following an event:

72 hours: Follow-up Email

2 Weeks:  Informational meeting, including committee sign-up sheets, school visit appointment sign-ups, one-on-one interview sign ups with Nicole & Alicia (Governance Committee optional).  

2 Weeks prior to Board Meeting: For potential Board members:  Collect background checks, resumes, bios, headshots

Throughout conversations with Bri Petty with OEI, we were instructed that we will need to go back to monthly Board meetings if the Education Committee is not back up and running soon.  We are working with school leadership to see if someone could chair this committee.  As previously mentioned, we have a few candidates for the committee. 

Bylaws need to be updated with maximum number of Board members and to include the OEI Incident Communications Policy.  The bylaws were edited and emailed to Governance Committee members to review.  The updated bylaws will be voted on at the May Board meeting.
