Responding to local needs, LSC is developing a process to facilitate the placement of younger professionals onto local boards. Through our new Board Shadowing Process LSC is committed to ensuring that any young professionals placed with local agencies have the knowledge to ask the right questions as they engage in meaningful service.
24th Class Stark County Day
An innovative speed dating-type match up kicked off a board shadowing process on November 30 for local agencies and members of the 2010 Spotlight Stark County Class. The Spotlight Class, our short course that runs in the fall, convenes a talented pool of younger professionals (age 24-34) for leadership training and an introduction to community involvement.
24th Class Economic Development Day
How the BOARD SHADOW PROCESS works: • Community agencies & class members are introduced in 7- minute speed sessions • Agencies & participants rank their choices for matches and LSC proposes the matches • Assignment of a 'board mentor' for the Spotlight “guest board member” for a one -year term. The Spotlight guest does not vote and does not have to fundraise, but does have the opportunity to attend board meetings and become active on committees. At the end of the one-year term, a voting board slot may be offered. more on page 6 >
