Restructuring the PSRC BOD Composition and Terms

The restructuring of the PSRC Board of Directors (BOD) aims to enhance leadership effectiveness through improved succession planning. Key challenges include difficulty in candidate selection, burnout, and loss of institutional knowledge. The proposed solution involves implementing mentorship, extending officer terms for stability, and staggering elections to ensure continuity. By creating an "elect" year for each position and restructuring roles, the organization can build stronger relationships and foster a more effective governance model. These changes are anticipated to lead to a higher functioning organization with increased participation.
