Each year, the Governance Committee of MPA’s Board of Trustees identifies, considers and invites a small number of people within the MPA community to become new trustees. In soliciting and evaluating nominees, the Board seeks to match the board’s needs with the nominees’ professional and leadership skills, as well as broad personal, cultural and experience backgrounds. Prior to becoming trustees, many members first served in various capacities at MPA, such as on school committees, committees of the Board, in the Parents Association or in other volunteer positions where they have been able to demonstrate and share their capabilities, personal experiences and leadership skills.
The Board continuously seeks to broaden the diversity of experience and background of its membership. In addition, this year it seeks to identify, among other things, those with professional capabilities in the areas of development, finance, education, and strategic risk management. If you know someone who might be a strong candidate for either the board or other school committees – or you personally are interested – please complete and submit the Nomination Questionnaire to Beth Averbeck (Beth.M.Averbeck@HealthPartners.com) by no later than Friday, March 13, 2015. The Governance Committee of the Board will be reviewing and vetting nomination during and after spring break, and bringing a slate of candidates to the full Board for consideration at its spring meeting.
A detailed explanation of the Board’s work and a description of the Board’s active committees work – as well as the Nomination Questionnaire – can be found on the Board of Trustees MPA webpage.
Feel free to contact any member of the Board’s Governance Committee if you have any questions: Beth Averbeck, Nan Etzwiler, Tamra Anderson, Chris Jesmer, Allan Flinn, Beth Finch and Dan Shapiro. Their contact information can be found in the MPA on-line Community Directory.
