I'd like to suggest

I'd like to suggest
Jenna MoonShe has- managed offices both at Common Ground and at UGA and Emmanuel College- the most day-to-day experience at Common Ground of anyone- started the internship program from scratch- commitment to Common Ground and the capacity-building field- vision of the impact that community-based MSOs like Common Ground can have
![Page 57: Proposals for Tuesday\'s Board Meeting](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020306/558cadddd8b42a39188b4604/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
I'd like to suggest
Jenna MoonWe've already invested in her by- sending her to the Alliance for Nonprofit Management conference—three intensive days of workshops on advanced manage- ment and capacity-building topics as well as interaction with leaders from MSOs, funders, and consultants from across the country- having her direct the internship program, paid for by a grant she co-wrote- my mentoring over the past year

And she's not on the Board
![Page 59: Proposals for Tuesday\'s Board Meeting](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020306/558cadddd8b42a39188b4604/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
And she's not on the Board
(why does that matter?)
![Page 60: Proposals for Tuesday\'s Board Meeting](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020306/558cadddd8b42a39188b4604/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Bringing a fresh perspectiveallows the Board to focus on governance andthe Executive Director to focus on execution.
Having the roles separatehelps the relationship be professional andnot appear to be self-serving
If something does go wrongthe relationship can be ended without feelinglike you're booting a good friend
