Discussion on board succession planning. -review of board job descriptions, Pres, VP, Secretary, and Treasurer. Opportunity to ask questions of roles.
Vice President Job Description
Discussion of new board member recruitment, resources available and inventory of needs
- Executive board members need to provide an update on their term and their intentions.
New Business Item 2: [Board Evaluation Activities] (Nancy/Jasmine)
- Discussion of evaluation activities in development
- participation in self-assessment tool
- Jasmine has created some evaluation forms
- She will include a deadline for the submission after she emails out the board evaluation (likely later this week).
New Business Item 3: [Non-Profit Board Intern (UofA CSL Program)] (Jasmine)
- Discussion of evaluation activities in development
- 60-70 hours course total.
- EBC may receive 20 hours from the intern.
- Jasmine has volunteered to be the 'mentor' for the intern.
- Are there any projects that we should prioritize their projects? (20 hours may only allow for 1 or 2 simple projects, i.e. 'drafting board orientation manuals').
- OH/S is likely a much larger project than 20 hours would accommodate, but just the 2nd submission could be valuable, and frankly a great piece of experience for the student.
- Jasmine will try to meet the student before the September meeting and bring the student to the meeting.
