The Board Development Committee, which operates independently of the Board of Directors, ensures that there is an adequate number of qualified nominees to fill the vacancies for election to the Board of Directors.

 

John Barbisan as Chair of the committee shared through video the rewards of serving on the Board and encouraged members to fill out the online FVREB Director Application Form should they wish to be considered by the Board Development Committee. As a follow up, a further communication was sent to all members with a “Call for Nominations” and a link to the FVREB Director Application Form.

 

The committee personally reached out to a number of members who had noted interest as well as members that they considered would be a valuable addition to the Board of Directors. The committee considered applications submitted by interested candidates and conducted interviews with those that they believed would best serve the Board before making its decision.
