Board meeting update
III. Other Business
A.
Individual Board Trustee renewal assessments
The idea of having Trustees complete self assessments was floated and discussed.
B.
Board & Committee Accountability...lots of talking, not so much walking:)
Peter, suggested that there is a lot of discussion at both the committee and Board level but also a lack of action. Too much spinning of wheels.
Somewhat ironically, the committee discussed ways to implement more movement at Board and Committee level.
