Follow up on Quarterly Board Member Trainings
Nicki sent out to individual board members what they need to complete for training. These trainings are critical and show up as positive or negative towards our performance framework. They can also be used in the decision for renewal. It is important to maintain a level of compliance for all board members.

Agenda Items for Next Month
Prepare for second reading of:
- Board Member Job Description
- Board Member Agreement
The committee worked on formatting future agendas to include consistent links to Board Policies and Documents such as BDE-R, which is at the top of each Governance Committee Agenda.
The Governance Committee also adjusted the link for the Committee’s Charge. The link has been adjusted to go to the documents in Board On Track rather than Google Drive. This includes the Quarterly review of the Governance Committee's charge and pertinent sections of our Charter & the Performance Framework.
Governance Committee is charging Ashlee Savage with putting consistent information for each of the other committee’s on top of their agendas modeled after this agenda.
