Board Member Recruitment Pipeline and Key Considerations
In this article published by Anne-Marie Balzano and Barb Rossen of Mission & Data, the authors walk through the key steps in a thoughtful and comprehensive trustee recruitment process with attention paid to identifying the true needs of the boards as well as DEIJ considerations. Developing a strong trustee pipeline will "provide stability and longterm sustainability to the school."
Here are the steps they focus and elaborate on in their article:
- Develop criteria for highly effective trustees
- Identify skills, competencies and experience
- Determine who is at the table now
- Identify potential trustees
- Cultivate and vet potential trustees
- Nominate trustees
DEIJ Considerations
Does our board composition reflect the community we serve?
Does it reflect the kind of community the school wishes to become?
Do certain constituencies lack a voice at the board table?
Are we missing perspectives that could expand our thinking in broad new ways?
How can we move beyond tokenism?
