Recommendation(s): |
That the Council adopt a resolution to approve the Council Committee’s Interview Rubric for Semi-Autonomous Board Applicants.
Development of the Rubric
The Council Committee on Boards and Commissions (the Committee) met on February 18, 2020. The Committee included elements in the rubric to help evaluate the diversity of the applicant within the context of the current membership of the board. They also included elements to evaluate the amount of special interest, experience, or education/training an applicant conveyed through their application or interview. The Committee also thought it was important to include some standardized interview questions.
The two new Council Committees will convene in April, and as needed thereafter, to conduct interviews in advance of the May appointments. The appointment items will include the recommendation, rubric, and minutes from the Committee meeting, in addition to the standard content.
Where is this item in its process?
