II. Governance
A.
New Member & Recruitment Plan Discussion
Both potential new members attended the Board meeting last month. Both seem interested, but the hope is to nominate a slate of new nominees as a cohort to fill as significant a number of seats as possible at one time.
The current deadline for Trustee applications is October 15th, but this could pose a challenge given the number of interested parties at this point. EJ Lafleur has a couple ideas of who could be a good fit for the Board. Latrina has ideas as well.
Brent will reach out to local newspapers to request the posting of ads.
B.
New Member Vetting & On-Boarding Discussion
Reviewed New Member interview questions and Evaluation Rubric - positive feedback.
Suggested that when interviewing new members, if they don't seem to have the time available to join the full board, we should ask if they would be interested in joining a committee or the Friends of PVPA.
