Executive Director: Student Board Member Pallavi Garg will be as involved as she wants to be. Unless she declines, we’re hoping she’ll be intimately involved with interviewing and selecting our new Director, since ultimately this organization exists for its students.

Chapter Coordinator: Currently there are no active roles for students/Chapter leaders in the selection and interview process for our new Chapter Coordinator. With that said, we’d love to have a student sit in on the interviews and help us pick a candidate — so if you’re interested in this, please send us an email to info “at” nourishinternational.org

If you feel like we’ve missed something here, just send us an email — we’re not wedded to any particular part of the process.

Nourish's National Board met on 1/14. Here's some of the important happenings:

New Board Members:

• Lee Buck, an Entrepreneur in the Raleigh Durham area joined the National Board. He will be serving a two year term.
• Pallavi Garg, from the University of Texas at Austin joined the Board as Nourish's first student-board member. She will be serving a one year term.

Committees and Task Forces

• The Board Recruitment Committee, led by Joel Thomas, is preparing "job descriptions" for new potential board members, as well as a Board Rotation Plan.
• The Metrics Task Force, led by Marcia Angle, is working with the staff to make headway towards providing preliminary metrics for Chapters and Project leaders.
• Pallavi Garg will be launching a Nourish Alumni Committee for the purpose of collecting and organizing our alumni's information and beginning a discussion on ways to keep them involved with Nourish's mission.

For the Budget

• The Give the Gift of Nourish Campaign was a huge success, raising over $6,000.
• In December, the Park Foundation chose to support the National Office with a grant — exciting!
