MPA’s Board of Trustees is a self-generative body of about 18–22 trustees, each of whom serves up to two 3-year terms. The Governance Committee of the Board solicits, evaluates, interviews, and recommends to the full Board, for its consideration, potential candidates to serve as trustees.
Over the upcoming weeks, the Board’s Governance Committee is commencing its annual process of identifying, evaluating, and interviewing a slate of potential trustee candidates. Candidates will be presented to the full Board at its May meeting, and candidates who are selected to serve will begin their first 3-year term in July 2018.
The Board will be seeking trustees with strong leadership skills, collaborative styles and MPA involvement, with the common goal of crafting an overall Board that collectively reflects MPA’s broad diversity of experience and backgrounds. The areas of desired experience in future trustees may include: finance, accounting, investment, banking, business, communications, education, law, governance, scientific training, the arts, IT, human resources, strategic planning, development, marketing, and community service, among others.
If you know of someone (including yourself) whom you believe could be a strong contributor and should be evaluated by the Board of Trustees’ Governance Committee, please provide the name of that person and a short description of attributes directly to Beth Finch, MPA Governance Committee Chair. The committee will evaluate all nominees and reach out directly to those from whom it wishes to obtain further information and interview.
For more information on the Board and its working committees, please see the Board page on the MPA website.
Feel free to contact Brent Peacock, MPA Board of Trustees Chair, at any time with any questions or thoughts.
