The TransitMatters Board of Directors met on January 31, 2023 for the monthly board meeting.
Below is a summary of topics discussed:
General
We welcomed Katie Calandriello, our new Programs Manager who has taken over for Matt Petersen
Jennifer Raitt (Jenny) was elected our new Board President. The slate of directors was re-elected for a 1-year term.
We also thanked Josh Fairchild for his many years of service to the Board as co-founder and President. His tenure included many milestones including the hiring of TM's first staff member (Jarred). Josh is still on the Board (and exec subcommittee).
Staffing Update
Jackson Moore-Otto will be joining the team as a Program and Development Assistant. We're excited for him to start next week.
Strategic Planning
We're in the process of updating our mission, vision, and values to foreground equity, the environment, and people. We'll share these updated versions soon. And don't worry, these changes won't mean a dramatic shift, it's more about the lens we view our work through.
2023 Goals and Workplan
Jarred presented a draft work plan to the board. He is still getting feedback from staff, but we'll have this set soon at the retreat.
Follow-Up
We followed on some development reporting. Liz Haney did a fantastic job with our fall campaign (a huge thanks to Dani Caisse, our Social Media Manager, for her support as well). We'll be planning our Membership Drive soon.
We are close to naming some new board members- some of them will be familiar to the Slack community. Stay tuned!
