A huge thank you to Zach and the EV UK & US executive teams & boards for your dedication to building robust governance at EV! It’s truly fantastic to see an open application process for new board members. As someone who has had excellent experiences with open rounds in the past, I can attest to their value in surfacing a diverse range of talented candidates who might not otherwise be considered.
I’m thrilled to support the search for exceptional board members and am eager to collaborate with the new trustees to advance our shared goals at Giving What We Can. I’ll definitely dedicate some time to considering potential nominations, and I encourage everyone in our community to do the same. Investing time in this process could have an incredible impact.
Could you please clarify if there are any constraints we should be mindful of when nominating candidates, such as their location or potential conflicts of interest (e.g., working for an organisation that has received funding from EV)?
Additionally, addressing a few more aspects in this post or the comments could benefit the process and potential applicants:
Share details on how potential conflicts of interest will be managed, both during the selection process and once new trustees are appointed.
Offer more information about the decision-making process and division of labour within the board, such as voting mechanisms, how disagreements are resolved, and whether different board members have specific responsibilities (e.g. the active trustee model, leading subcommittees, etc.).
Include details about the expected term length for a trustee and the board’s approach to turnover, board performance evaluation, and succession planning.
Thanks again for your tireless efforts in laying a strong foundation for such a crucial part of the EA community!
