Central Washington University Board of Trustees July 26, 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – Board Organization & Planning
Board Assessment: In spring 2019 the executive committee of the board administered a self- assessment for all trustees. The results will be discussed at the board meeting and the executive committee members will follow up the discussion as needed with individual trustees. Employee planning and review: CWUP 1-10-050 Powers and Duties requires the board to evaluate the performance of the president annually. The board have been provided the president’s self-assessment, contract, and survey instrument for the purpose of conducting this evaluation. The university now is engaged in a search for a vice president of academic and student life. The search committee, co-chaired by the president and the former chair of the faculty senate, Amy Claridge, met on July 8 with representatives of the executive search firm, Storbeck Pimentel & Associates. Trustees Nellams and Harrington, the 2019-2020 student trustee, are serving on the search committee. On June 18 and 19 open forums and focus groups were held in Ellensburg and on WebEx to collect input on qualities desirable in provost candidates. The trustees, too, will discuss this subject at their July 26 meeting. Meeting Schedule: State law [RCW 28B.35.110] requires boards of trustees of baccalaureate institutions to meet twice per year; Central Washington University Policy 1-10-030 states that the Board shall hold a regular meeting at least once each calendar quarter. Additionally, with 24-hours notice, board may schedule special meetings. Over the past 12 months, CWU has met five times: four regular meetings and one special meeting. Additionally, trustees have come together for a variety of activities, including the State of the University Address and Commencement. The proposed meeting schedule for the coming year identifies a retreat in October and one regular meeting in each of the following quarters. Following are proposed official meeting dates for the upcoming fiscal year.
