Briefing
1. Discuss Board Engagement Survey Results – The committee reviewed responses to the
annual Board Engagement Survey.  Opportunities were identified for board training in the

points to refer to as a board member, and more strategic planning.
2. Review Current Board Applications – five applications have been received from the Clerk’s
Office.  Each board member volunteered to reach out to schedule an interview with a
selected applicant.  Erika will follow up with two already-vetted applicants to confirm their
