FY21 Trustees, Officers and Committees

The committee discussed recommendations for Committee assignments for Fiscal Year 2021, beginning 7/1/20

David mentioned preliminary note, the minutes of last years Annual Meeting reflect that the Motion designating the staffing of the various committees was made and seconded, but “did not carry.” (page 4).  This is a clerical error and did carry so we need to revise these minutes. 

Regarding 2021 Committee assignments

Lisa Doherty wants to shift to academic committee. David is interested in being on finance committee as well as governance. In addition, we should make some committee assignments of our 2 new Trustees, Rachel will email to see if they have a preference. 
Assuming existing assignments continue  the committees would be: 
    1. Finance: Ford, Chair; Landon; Gabinetti; Martin; new Trustee; Fuller 
    2. Acad. Ach.: Sela, Chair; Janes; Crowell; Doherty; Moody; Erichetti; New Trustee
    3. Governance: Fuller, Chair, Mendelson; Moran (ex-officio)

Self-Assessment of Board of Trustees

Tom provided a summary of the survey and other docs. We will all review it and finalize it before next meeting with the goal of sharing it with Board in July meeting and asking committee chairs to review with committee and use to set goals for FY21. Rachel will share an overview of this with board in June and set expectations that committee chairs will be setting goals by September. Rachel will also work with Ann to set her goals and share at same time with board for review/feedback. 

Tom will take a stab at drafting a maturity model for the board to capture our progress and vision for future that we are working towards.
