Nikki mentions that in putting the attendance audit together, she noticed some folks are not meeting the attendance policy standard. 

Aaron asks if we should revisit the Board and ask if 75% is too much for Board meeting attendance? 

Rachel says we should include the attendance audit and attendance policy at the next Board meeting to serve as a reminder for folks. This will serve as a reminder. We can include on the Board meeting agenda quarterly just to check in. 

Nikki will create a spreadsheet with just trustee's percentages for Board meetings and committee meetings. 

Push to May. We will also review site visit feedback we received related to entering into Executive Session. (Site visit report - open meeting law findings). 

Rachel updates the committee that new trustee AnnMarie Martínez was approved by the state so she is now a full member and able to vote. 

Rachel and Denise had a conversation with Matt Landon about the treasurer role. There are other future plans for Matt, potentially as Chair so she would like to ask AnnMarie Martínez to be treasurer mentored by Denise. 

Aaron asks if we would consider Robbie for the role of treasurer? He thinks he could be trained and work with Denise. 

Rachel says that makes sense but Robbie has been busier at work and his engagement with the Board has shifted a bit. This is a great idea as a backup plan to AnnMarie. 

There is also a new Board recruit: Dr. Andrea Hicks who attended our last Board meeting. She has a background in education and is a Springfield community advocate. She will be sending Rachel her CV. At our next governance committee meeting, we will review her credentials and potentially nominate to bring her candidacy to the whole Board. This would add two new Board members which fill needed skills gaps. 

Lisa's term is up at the end of this year but she is not at 15 years so she doesn't have to role off the Board. (She is at 12 years, so she can serve another 3 year term). David will looks at the bylaws. 

Rachel would also like David to look at the bylaws regarding what responsibilities are specific for Treasurer and Chair of Finance. Do these roles need to be one person or can they be two different people?
