Appearance
BGC meeting, 20/8/14 Maria, Patricio, Phoebe
BGC meetings & communication
[edit]- BGC meets at every in-person meeting for an hour
- This year, we also want to have online meetings in between
- Usually invite Geoff and sometimes Lila to meetings
- Do we want a mailing list? There is not one now
Agenda and this year's work
[edit]- This year's agenda definitely includes finding 1-3 new board members and onboarding them
- Other topics could include elections committee, advisory board
- Finding new board members takes priority
Board member search
[edit]- The previous BGC did a board profile/skills grid that gave us competencies we are looking for (tech, legal, finance, maybe governance)
- Last search had lots of problems, we do not want to repeat the last search process (long, messy)
- We need to develop a timeline and list of tasks
- We should ask the transition team if there were ED candidates that would be good board members
- We should consider people who are related to our movement already as friends, fellow travelers, community members etc as well as people outside
