I think a required training for new Board members to include expectations, previous meeting notes, and goals would be beneficial. I also plan to be more strategic this year by sharing our specific goals and listening and implementing more suggestions from Board members versus just telling them what we've done in the past. I want to see more input from our Board members that benefit our students and programs.
Currently, personnel transitions in my program and advisory board are managed informally, relying mostly on the goodwill and availability of outgoing members. However, I recognize the need for a more structured approach. To ensure smoother handoffs, I plan to implement an onboarding package for new members that includes bylaws, meeting minutes, and strategic goals. Additionally, I aim to establish a mentoring system where experienced members support newcomers during their first year. These steps will help maintain continuity, build trust, and reinforce the long-term vision of the program.
