Vermont States Colleges trustees approve officer nominations, recommend audit committee members
Summary
After an executive session under 1 V.S.A. §313(a)(3) to discuss a public-officer appointment, committee members nominated and approved trustee officers and forwarded audit committee recommendations to the full board for the June annual meeting.
The Vermont States Colleges trustees committee moved into an executive session under 1 V.S.A. §313(a)(3) to discuss the appointment of a public officer and, after returning to open session, approved nominations for board officers and recommended members for the audit committee.
The committee approved Trustee Lynn Dickinson to continue as chair for a two-year term and approved one-year nominations for Vice Chair Megan Kluver, Secretary Mark Mahali and Treasurer David Silverman. The committee also recommended members for the audit committee: Sue Zeller; Representative David Durfee; and trustees Bob Flint, David Silverman and Gwen Bailey Rowe. Committee members said they will forward those recommendations to the full board at the annual meeting in June for formal votes.
"I move the VSC board of trustees enter executive per executive session pursuant to 1 VSA 313(a)(3) for discussion [of the] appointment of a public officer," Trustee Lynn Dickinson said when making the motion to go into executive session. The motion was seconded and the committee moved into a closed session. The transcript does not specify the identity of the public officer discussed in executive session.
After returning to open session, the committee took the formal actions to nominate and approve the officer slate and to prepare the audit committee recommendations for the full trustees meeting. Patty (staff member) confirmed the timeline: the recommendations will be brought to the full board at the annual meeting in June. The committee also approved the minutes of April 14 earlier in the meeting.
No additional substantive discussion about the nominations or the audit committee members is recorded in the transcript; the committee’s actions were procedural appointments and recommendations to the full trustees. Technical issues briefly delayed the executive-session breakout room, and staff reinvited participants before the closed session convened.
The committee meeting concluded after those votes and the chair closed the session.
