Board Work List for the Week of January 28, 2007

Board members and Succession Committee:

Our targets for the week of 1/29/07:

1. Edit the draft letter and posting for the Executive Director position provided by Dewey & Kaye.
2. Contact Forbes Fund about funding for the Organizational Assessment.
3. Make a decision about the level of support we need for the Executive Search Proposal.
4. Draw the list of organizations and supporters to receive the letter and posting; plan the mailing for next week.

Other activities that need attention that are not part of the succession planning are related to events.

• Put the final touches on our plans for the WLI event in February. Give the PR group the final go on this.
• Publish the web site link and announcement of the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community and begin registrations on Thursday, February 1.
• Review Mary J.'s preliminary proposal for the Victorian Tea. Review the project charter for the tea and give Mary feedback.
• Create an agenda for next Monday's joint board meeting at MOMS.
• Send an announcement to participants about the board meeting 2/6.
• Finalize the MOMS brochure and send it to print.
• Collect the statistics for the annual report; create a draft of the January annual report and newsletter.

I have an additional question. Can we consider additional board members at this time? Heather S., who is helping with the chocolate event is interested in considering this. Can the Nominating Committee send her information about this commitment? I also think we need to consider our position about new board members going into our events because these are excellent opportunities to identify additional candidates.
