Trustees discuss adding continuing education expectations to board norms
Summary
Trustees discussed whether to formalize continuing education expectations for board members, proposing that the board consider adding a requirement to take one or two training classes a year into board norms and discuss it further in small groups.
A trustee raised the topic of board member continuing education and whether the board should more formally include expectations in its board norms. The trustee noted trustees already take virtual and in-person opportunities and suggested adding a recommendation (for example, one or two classes per year) when the board signs norms in January.
The Chair and other trustees agreed it was worth further discussion in small groups and deferred a formal change for a future meeting. No formal motion or vote was taken; the item was discussed as a communication among trustees and will be revisited.
