V. Information Item

A. Myers McRae Executive Search Firm

Chair Mason introduced Mr. Kenny Daugherty, President of the Myers McRae executive search firm, and asked him to present this Agenda item.

Mr. Daugherty provided an overview and update as to the search process and the candidates that they were seeing, then presented the executive search status report as of March 31, 2023.

Regent Walston asked Mr. Daugherty if he could provide a copy of the status report to committee members.

Mr. Daugherty stressed the importance of committee members maintaining confidentiality throughout the process, and described the process by which they could access and review resumes in the portal.

Dr. Mayberry requested Mr. Daugherty to clarify what types of information would be appropriate to include in the comment boxes.

Chair Mason asked how long it typically takes to go through an application and fill out the evaluation form, and further queried whether it was possible for committee members to view their comments anywhere at any time so they can be reviewed during the closed session discussions of candidates.

Chair Mason requested clarification that committee members would have access to all applicants' information, (not just the candidates pre-screened by the search firm) and also asked when the portal will open.
