A.
Board meeting update
Peter, Nick and Paul updated the committee on the 1/25/22 Board meeting.
III. Other Business
A.
Individual Board Trustee renewal/yearly self assessments.. Board directed.
A lively discussion regarding questions and possible wording of a short self evaluation form for Board members to complete upon the expiration of their term. It is hoped that this will aid them in identifying where there is room for improvement and where they are meeting and excelling should they decide to embark in an additional 3 year term. Nick started a Google form for members to add their questions to.
B.
Membership Outreach and Committee/Board onboarding
We are extremely low on committee membership for both Governance and Personnel. Committee discussed ways in which we can encourage folk to join. Similarly, there is a possibility that 5 Board members could roll off of the Board this year with their current terms set to expire, leaving us with just 8 members. (The minimum permitted being 9).
