Introductory Comments:<br />
1. The Skills Snapshot has been developed as a source of information to be used by the Nominating<br />
Committee in its efforts to assist the <strong>Board</strong> in recruiting an effective, balanced, <strong>and</strong> diverse <strong>Board</strong><br />
membership with the requisite skills <strong>and</strong> experience to respond to <strong>KidsAbility</strong>’s current <strong>and</strong> evolving<br />
needs.<br />
2. The Skills Snapshot has been approved by the <strong>Board</strong> as an ongoing tool to be used by the<br />
Nominating Committee in seeking <strong>and</strong> selecting prospective members of the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>and</strong> Foundation<br />
committees. Before each search it may be necessary for the <strong>Board</strong> to update the criteria to reflect<br />
shifting strategic directions or perceived skills that may be required for the <strong>Board</strong> to continue to<br />
function effectively.<br />
3. Completed copies of the individual Skills Snapshot will be returned to the Chair of the Nominating<br />
Committee who will be responsible for compiling a skills composite with respondents’ names<br />
appearing indiscriminately as A, B, C et cetera. The composite Snapshot – rather than individual<br />
responses -- will be shared with the <strong>Board</strong> along with the Nominating Committee’s assessment of<br />
the requisite skills to be sought in new membership to the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>and</strong> Foundation committees. Any<br />
comments that individuals may provide are for use of the Nominating Committee only <strong>and</strong> will not<br />
be shared with the <strong>Board</strong>.<br />
4. Introductory note 3 above notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing, since information as to the nature <strong>and</strong> breadth of the<br />
<strong>Board</strong>’s community contacts is relevant to the <strong>Board</strong> profile as is the professional <strong>and</strong>/or business<br />
make-up of our board, in its summary comments to the <strong>Board</strong> the Nominating Committee should<br />
also explain in a general non-attributive way any relevant information that may have surfaced in the<br />
Snapshot insofar as it pertains to these items.<br />
5. <strong>Board</strong> members will be asked to complete this matrix at the end of every three year term so the most<br />
updated information is available.<br />
