    New Business:

    Chair Stevens discussed that he saw the immediate need for an Acting President 鈥 someone who could steer the ship and be the 鈥渇ace鈥 of 天美视频 in the wake of the legislative session, the Huron study, for meetings involving external stakeholders, etc. Dr. Larry Ferguson, Ashland CTC鈥檚 President is now the Acting 天美视频 President. Dr. Ferguson is to serve 30-6o days or longer if time requires.

    Chair Stevens noted that he felt it was important that this committee, not just the Chair work to find an interim president that will need to serve for an extended period of time.

    This committee will be putting forth 2-3 names to the full Board of Regents for a vote on whom should be chosen. The committee will not make the decision on its own.

    Chair Stevens then turned the meeting over to Parliamentarian Duncan and Board Liaison Hannah Rivera at this point to talk about the search firm and next steps.

    Hon. Pam Duncan stated that a profile has been developed with feedback from Regents to determine what attributes, what qualities and what responsibilities an interim president should have. That profile will be used to determine and to select the best candidate. Board Liaison Rivera emphasized that this document was created as a starting point. The executive team and the evaluation committee had already reviewed and made changes, but of course, this committee is welcome to provide input.

    Ms. Duncan discussed that The Registry would facilitate the screening of candidates, etc. The Registry is a membership organization鈥攖heir Members are pre-screened, veteran executives who are immediately available to be matched to the needs and requirements this committee establishes. The candidates will not be candidates for the permanent position.

    Discussion regarding the length of service of the interim president was determined to be 1 year to 1 year and 陆. Board member Whitten asked if that time could be shortened, and Ms. Duncan said that yes there is a 30 day cancellation clause. She reminded the Board members that they indicated previously they wanted a slow methodical search for a new president.

    Ms. Duncan then reviewed the Attributes, Requirements and Expectations document with the committee members.

    The Board members expressed interest in sharing this document with all the employees and ask for input. Guidelines and a timeline for these comments was established and Board Liaison Rivera will monitor them. It was also decided that Ms. Duncan would also send the attributes to The Registry to keep the momentum going for the interim search. They also asked for a SharePoint site be established for information about the interim search. The attribute document will be downloaded to this site and any other documents moving forward.

    MOTION: Secretary Fletcher forwarded a motion that this committee adopt the current attributes document, providing it to the registry, while concurrently publishing the same for feedback from interested stakeholders, which can be grouped and then forwarded as necessary to the registry with completion of this process by March 1st. Board Member Whitten seconded the motion.

    The motion was approved unanimously.

    MOTION: Vice Chair Martin moved that the final review of the applicants take place on March 17, 2023. Board Member Whitten seconded the motion.

    The motion was approved unanimously.

    Adjournment:

    Mr. Stevens moved, and Ms. Whitten seconded, that the meeting adjourn. Chair Stevens called for the vote.

    The motion was approved unanimously by those Regents present, and the meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m. (ET)
