On April 7, current and newly elected board members for the Ford Scholar Alumni Association met in the Eugene office of The Ford Family Foundation.<\/p>\n

The FSAA board continued the work that began in the January meeting with facilitator Chris Tebben. The five-hour meeting included discussion of best practices for board governance and decision-making, as well as transitioning from an operational to a strategic focus as a board. The board identified strategic priorities for the coming year based on alumni feedback at the January meeting and from the online alumni survey. Those priorities included: strengthening the board governance model, developing a segmented member engagement strategy, launching an online platform for alumni networking, and creating a plan to deliver professional development content to members.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in serving on a committee to advance these priorities, please contact Bonnie Williams, Manager of Scholar and Alumni Engagement, at bwilliams@tfff.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
