Tom invited members to share thoughts and input on what Veritas board of trustees needs in order to grow into the ideal maturity model. Aaron shared his input and thoughts for needs. He made a list of priorities based on the model Tom presented. Rachel shared plans for Executive Director succession planning that she is working on this year in collaboration with Dale. This should be named shared some of the other things that she would prioritize from the model. We need to continue to work towards diversity goal: 50% POC. We need to ramp up board education and communications program, specifically improve onboarding. Rachel questioned do we have the right committees and do we have the right people on the committees with the future high school and changes to accountability. We need to assess the current composition of trustees and that are the skills we need in future. We need people to strategy, org growth, focus on governance (support and accountability for management). We can improve vetting process which will be owned by the governance committee. Having a set of criteria or must haves will be help us to get the right people on board. Next meeting we will discuss and assess current board composition and identify needs/gaps.
