Whereas, the Board of Trustees has six community- and affiliate-selected seats to fill in 2021;
Whereas, the Board has committed to developing a new process for filling those seats;
Whereas, the Foundation conducted a six-week call for community feedback about various ideas and possibilities for the new selection process; and
Whereas, taking into account the community feedback and the Board's governance needs, the Board Governance Committee has developed a proposed selection process;
Now, therefore, it is:
